thanks, silver. I snapped this a few days ago. Today, Mr. Cardinal was back, and those kittens started climbing the tree after him just like they did with the Jay. lol...no photos, though. Mr. Cardinal didn't stay too long to tease them.
yes, nature does it beautifully!! I was just thinking of you, I opened my reader and there you were with a gorgeous pic of a favorite bird:) Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!
Dear we have cardinals too and others too, we are not so exotic (lol)but here we have owls here, white owls but we almost dont see you knoe they sleep all day but I heard sometines in the night:)
I think with Silver you need to invest in a bug sweeper too The electronic kind, not anything for squashing bugs as they bother you Hmmm well maybe that would work better, you think?..hahaha Mr. Cardinal wouldn't play with a kitty What a pity Great shot though Yes, nature does do it better unless it decides to use ten feet of snow
hahaha I had plenty to choose from too There were snowmen doing the same thing you were able to view A multiple Santa full moon And a conga line with most everything flapping in the breeze as they moved to the tune...hahaha
Nature can and does "outdo" us everytime--lovely shot. I made the Rusian Tea Cakes today, and they were fabulous. Thanks so much for the recipe and for the "push" that made me finally make them. Have a lovely Christmas with your family and a New Year filled with joy, peace, and blessings. Mickie :)
Yes! Oh yes, yes, yes!! This most beautiful vivid and amazingly scarlte bird against the bare branches - beautiful!!! Hugs to Mother Nature - she looks after her children! Take care x
this is wonderful Betsy and i couldn't agree more, nature just knows how to make the best decorations! well, your shot of it is just as fantastic :-) merry Christmas to you and your family! ps: writing from my new blog, hope you may still enjoy it :-)
Nothing comes close to nature when it comes to beauty. Sunrises, sunsets, and rainbows are some of the most beautiful scenes that nature provides. Although some birds are definitely the most colorful. You just gotta love nature and the beauty she provides. I must say that you are blessed with some beautiful views.
Great shot of the Mr.; all you're missing is the snow.
I'm pricing bird feeders at work, since I'm finally living in a place where I can put one up in view of a window. I want to get both a seed and a suet feeder - I wanna see Woodpeckers and Nuthatches as well as the usual Cardinals and Blue Jays!
you know what's crazy, I have yet to ahve ever seen a real life Cardinal like you see all the time! but then again, bet you haven;t seen a dear English robin either.
Golden ornaments and red accents.
Another gorgeous shot, doll!
ReplyDeletethanks, silver. I snapped this a few days ago. Today, Mr. Cardinal was back, and those kittens started climbing the tree after him just like they did with the Jay. lol...no photos, though. Mr. Cardinal didn't stay too long to tease them.
ReplyDeleteWell, you know me... I always love new photos.
ReplyDeleteA great shot. Nice to see Mr. Cardinal fluffed up for the weather.
ReplyDeleteWell, you might be a stalker, but you're a friendly one...lol...ducks....
ReplyDeleteFarmchick ~ I want to put out some bird see, but with 9 kittens in the back yard, the odds are certainly against the bird!
ReplyDeleteLook beauty betsy:)
ReplyDeleteyes, nature does it beautifully!! I was just thinking of you, I opened my reader and there you were with a gorgeous pic of a favorite bird:) Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks Martha! I hope you enjoy the holidays, too! I know your family will be eating some of your delicious baking! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gloria!
ReplyDeleteDo you have Cardinals down there? Probably not. I bet you have something more beautiful and exotic. :)
Just breathtaking, Betsy. Wouldn't that be a lovely Christmas Card?
ReplyDeleteFantastic photo. I have a pattern similar on my duvet cover on my bed!
ReplyDeleteStalker? Me? Did you find those cameras?
ReplyDeleteUhhh... I mean... What cameras? Heh.
(Oh, crap.)
Wanda ~ I was going to make it a header for my blog, but can't quite give up Mr. Moon yet. :) Yes, it would make a nice card!
ReplyDeleteDear we have cardinals too and others too, we are not so exotic (lol)but here we have owls here, white owls but we almost dont see you knoe they sleep all day but I heard sometines in the night:)
ReplyDeleteSilver, you know...every once in a while I get the feeling someone is watching me...NOW I get why! ha.
ReplyDeleteGloria, I LOVE owls.
ReplyDeletebeautiful.
ReplyDeletethey are the most beautiful things to watch out your window I had a blue jay once but with the cats they stay away now.
nature is a beautiful artist...and nice capture of it...what not photos of the cat prowl..smiles....
ReplyDeleteBrian ~ I tried...but the cardinal took off just before the third cat got in the tree. ha.
ReplyDeleteI think with Silver you need to invest in a bug sweeper too
ReplyDeleteThe electronic kind, not anything for squashing bugs as they bother you
Hmmm well maybe that would work better, you think?..hahaha
Mr. Cardinal wouldn't play with a kitty
What a pity
Great shot though
Yes, nature does do it better unless it decides to use ten feet of snow
Betsy - simple beauty is always more lovely through your eyes...thanks for sharing. Hugs! XO
ReplyDeleteWell, Pat...nothing beats your wrapping paper. I will say that! lol....
ReplyDeleteA bug sweeper? I'm scared to know what I'd find! ha.
Better Baker ~ you are SO sweet, you know that? :)
ReplyDeleteI don't see any cats up there, do I? Whew!
ReplyDeleteThat would really make a great Christmas card.
hahaha I had plenty to choose from too
ReplyDeleteThere were snowmen doing the same thing you were able to view
A multiple Santa full moon
And a conga line with most everything flapping in the breeze as they moved to the tune...hahaha
Christine ~ there were! But the cardinal flew away before they got very far.
ReplyDeletePat ~
ReplyDeleteoh dear
Did Orlin pick those out?
I'm sure Cass wouldn't want those laying about.
ha.

Beautiful dear Betsy and I agree.;))
ReplyDeletexoxo
Oh, yes, I do think God's decorations ace ours everytime!! Beautiful capture of that beauty, Betsy! blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteAnd BOY does that Cardinal look fat and maybe a TINY bit grumpy!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of the Mr.; all you're missing is the snow.

Jill ~ I think he was disappointed the feeder was empty. ha.
ReplyDeleteRoy, if you can get one that fits on your window that's the best. Easy to fill from inside and they are nice and close up, too.
ReplyDeleteBirdie ~ a new blog? Good for you! I'll come over and check it out!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds! I just wanted to stop by and wish you a very Merry Christmas! :)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree.
ReplyDeleteSplendid picture.
:)~
