Some Kind of Wonderful!

Yesterday I was very busy taking pictures, of Mr. Red...
sitting on the floor in my home office,
shooting through the glass window.
 
I stopped to look at the images and was so disappointed,
the windows are dirty from all the stormy weather
and I was so unhappy with the pictures.
 
The window was unlocked, so I decided to open it.
Much to my surprise, Mr. Red did not fly off.
 
He decided to stay,
 
and pose.
 
Here I am sure he see's me but he does not fly off.
 
One last perfect pose, a puff out and off he went.
 
If you feed them they will come!

I think he's found a friend in you so much so he just stands and poses for you...He's beautiful that's for sure....

What a handsome fella Mr. Red is!!
He would not like it here today.
We are getting quite pounded with a snow storm.
Spring is not coming here tomorrow. :-(

Oh Debbie I think Mr Red is a show off lucky for you. Beautiful photos he is a natural model as much as you are a natural photographer. Hug B

I love when they get all puffy like that :-)

Janice Grinyer said...

nope - i think he's telling you that the birdfeeder is running low on sunflower seeds...LOL

I got out of cleaning windows last year because the fire etched them all with pieces of burning pine needles ;p but this year i will be out there as soon as the snow melts (yay!)

He's a handsome fellow and definitely posing for you...the ham! I find the cardinals one of the least skittish of the birds, after the gold finches, when it comes to snapping them.

He really does look like he's posing for you! Thank you for sharing these photos--I enjoyed them. I've seen a cardinal hanging around lately, but I never have my camera ready!

What a beautiful bird, and great pictures too. That reminds me, my windows could do with a clean too.
