Mrs Cardinal seems so intent on "winning"! maybe she'll be watching the Superbowl with the Pres. in white house. I heard he's holding a party.

Ooooo, beautiful shot. What lovely colors on her. The muted lighting and bokeh are lovely too. You gotta take me there (again)...WITH cardinals this time. :-)

Elizabeth Ann Gray says:

Blurring the background to help bring focus to the bird (along with the soft color scheme) really brought out the delicacy of this composition.
Posted 11 months ago. ( permalink )

[ r ♥ c e y t ♥ y ] {I br♥ke for bokeh} says:

Oh wow! I keep hoping Mr. & Mrs and all the little ones will come by today when the sun is out - or when it's snowing. They should be the Scarlet Sunday mascots.

That line of bokeh along the back is divine.

IngallsIdyllGirl says:

LOL! Fabulous title!
I have a friend who is throwing an anti-superbowl party - but her invitation didn't make it clear and a whole bunch of people just took one look at 'superbowl' in the subject line and lost interest!
Stunning portrait of this beautiful bird. It is immaculate in every detail- well, except the food on her beak!
Posted 11 months ago. ( permalink )

pollyvw says:

LOL @ your title. Love it! And love the image...the 'got milk' on her beak is fantastic.

This time of the year in my house we talk about the two BASEBALL teams around our birdfeeders (never associated them with football...duh!)...the Cardinals and the Blue Jays.

Maureen F. says:

I know nothing about football other than they wear big shoulder pads, there is a superbowl, the Pres likes the sport, they do a lot of jogging on the spot, commonly called jocks, love to pat themselves on the butt, don't chew gum like baseball players.....
and
thats about it
