A male northern cardinal is a bright spot in what has been a messy Easter weekend. As you can see, we still have snow on the ground.

Beautifully captured with such great detail in the feathers. Nice Bokeh and the expression is a nice final touch to the overall composition.

Thank you Jane. This bright little bird sure put a joyful smile on my face. Winter was too long, spring is late and the weather is desmoralising, so thanks once more for the happy shot.

What a striking bird. You are right his colour does brighten up what looks to be a cold rainy day. Very nice pose he is giving you Jane, nicely captured.
