    Beautiful shots, Carletta! They sure are a handsome couple. They must be dressed to go to a Super Bowl Party!

    Great shots including snowflakes and bird food. I notice most of you use some kind of mix for bird food. I use only the black oil seeds(sunflower).

    great images!
    I never tire of capturing images of cardinals. They bring color to the b&w landscape in winter.

    Absolutely beautiful! My Cardinal has such a handsome profile and his red coloring is stunning against the snowy backdrop. Mrs. Cardinal is so much prettier up close than I realized. Lovely captures!

    Mr Red seems to be enjoying his meal in the snow while his lady friend looks on.
    I adore photos with the snow falling- great captures, Carletta.

    Hope your day is going well.

    Beautiful Carletta! You know, usually I say the female is more beautiful than the male Cardinal, but your shot of the male is stunning!!

    Theses are such great birds - I love to see some again.

    I think the fenceposts in my picture are a really important part of the image.

    Cheers and thanks for linking to WBW.

    These are great portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal. Mr. Cardinal seems to be rather stern. I wonder what he's watching?
