Alphabet Photos Challenge is hosted by Quilly.
Camera-Critters Sunday is hosted by Misty.
This is a single Rose from an Easter bouquet.
I took this Red Cardinal back in late April when the oak tree was just beginning to bud. You can tell from his puffed up feathers that it was a very cool day.
Do you think he knew I was watching him and turned to pose for me?

Beautiful rose -- but even more beautiful Red Cardinal.
Oh! I am sure it posed for you. These birdies do it if they sense you are going to post it for camera critters. :))
Lovely bird.
I definitely think Mr. Cardinal was posing for you... he has such beautiful red feathers!
very sweet photo .I love them!! cardinals- the first sounds in the morning and last at night
That is a beaytiful bird I will nor se around my way. lovely
We don;t have cardinals here in Aus, so it was a real pleasure to read this post.
And thank you, too, for the very kind comment on my blog.
lovely shots for the bird
Hope you visit mine too Thanks
great shots
Will you visit mine Thanks
The rose is beautiful and I'm glad we live where we can see cardinals!
Have a good Sunday :)
Both "R"s are gorgeous! I'm quite certain the cardinal KNEW you were watching him! Posing? Maybe! Keeping an eye on you? Definitely! I often wish they knew the difference between a camera and a gun... they seem to be equally skittish of both!
Gorgeous rose!!
The Cardinal is exceptional!! He acts just like 'guy' bird - all puffed up and then posing for Carletta!!
Such a gorgeous red color on the Cardinal and a perfect photo you were able to obtain! Well done!!!
The pictures are great R pictures. I loved the rose.
Great shots!
Aren't Cardinals just the prettiest birds? :)
It does look like he turned to the camera just for you.
That rose is just gorgeous!
So nice of him to pose for you - great capture!
Oh how beautiful ! and I was raking my brain for a picture with R !
I've been noticing more and more cardinals lately in my area. Great shots C.
a beautiful rose and a spectacular cardinal. i'm sure he was aware of your presence but birds here are generally camera shy
Beautiful Cardinal
I've been trying unsuccessfully to get some good Cardinal photos recently. YOURS are great!
what a beautiful bird!
Carletta: Beautiful shot of the cardinal.
Beautiful as always Carletta.. always such a pleasure calling around here.
glad I finally found time to catch up - always great shots and words on your blog!
Gosh what a gorgeous rose.
I envy people who have the Cardinal visit - we don't have him here and he is such a beautiful bird.
Lovely shots Carletta!
Oh, I just love the Cardinal! You get really great pictures!

A lovely rose. If our roses still looked decent I would have tried that too. And I love the cardinal. We dont get them here but I'd love to shoot one (as in photograph!) someday. Great images today.
I think the cardinal definitely turned to pose just for you, what delightful photos of him!
That's a beautiful rose! and the red cardinal posing for you is just priceless. Wonderful shots for "R"!!
Beautiful rose and cardinal. Great shots!
A beautiful picture! I'm sure he turned to pose for you!
