Proud Momma...

This pretty female Cardinal, was trying to find the balance...
a little loving...a little letting go.
She flew off, then watched.
 
 Keeping a close eye on her little one,

 being sure he didn't wander off,
 
as he was a curious little one.
Exploring the deck and grounds for the very first time.

Mom seemed proud as a peacock as she puffed out
and watched from the tree!!
 
Images from October 8, 2013

Yesterday's project went beautifully, better then expected.
It's almost done but I would like to do the
"drum - roll"..."big reveal" when it's done, done.

For those of you who can't wait, don't want to miss it,
tune in Saturday, yes Saturday will be the big day!!

Great shots of the newest addition to your yard. I just love cardinals, but just can't attract them. I'm waiting for the big roll-out on Saturday!!!

The female cardinal is really lovely--that soft brown is pretty. The males get more attention, usually, so you showed her off beautifully! I love seeing the way she watches out for her little one.

I look forward to Saturday! :-)
