Oh my gosh, maybe your best bird picture YET!!! The coloration n the cardinal is just fabulous!! I am doing a post for Sunday, then will be off awhile for eye surgery. I have gone pretty much blind in my right eye. I will return when I can see the laptop better. I KNOW you and George will have a fabulous New Year because you will be together.
