While driving home from town this morning, I couldn't help but notice this. A striking male cardinal was perched in a flowering fruit tree. The wonderful pink color of the blossoms and the bright red bird caused a beautiful combination.
Thankfully, I had my camera with me, so I took the time to spin around and try to capture some photos. I was blessed that the bird had stayed still, and allowed me some quick photos. It seems that the camera was more focused on the flowers than the bird, but they still turned out alright. I wish that I had had more time, but I'm pleased to have gotten the pictures that I did before the bird flew away. Here are some of the ones that I did get. Enjoy!
