A Splash of Color
Winter time is hard for many of us. I don't know how it is where you live, but here in the central Midwest of the US, during winter we have mostly grey sky days and as of the last few days, snow! Now it's fair to say that snow doesn't really happen in Missouri like it does in the more northern Midwest states, but every now and then....we get a really dumping. This very thing happened this past weekend.
We awoke Saturday morning with a healthy 15 inches of snow with more coming. What came out of that was a white blanketed ground, snow lined trees, and bright grey skies.
It is quite easy to see how a splash of color, when it shows up, will catch your eye. This is exactly what happened when this gentleman showed himself this morning in our tree in the front yard. He was accompanied by his female companion, of which didn't present herself as well for photo. I was pleased to catch him in picture, and the bright splash of red of this cardinal was a welcome break in whites and grays.
Is this red color is real? So beautifull thank you for share
Most definitely real. A Cardinal.
Such a burst of joy I feel when I see this photo, love the little splash of colour. It does not snow here in Queensland, Australia, so it is lovely to read your post and view this photo.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Cool pictures.

Well as a matter of fact we do not really get to see in my part of the world but yeah with this situation that goes on sometimes it gets difficult to live the daily life so I just can imagine what it could be happening out in there.
Besides yeah the Gentleman did really made the day as a matter of fact and he sure is looking very much pretty in among the white snow in the background.
Very nicely captured by the way !!
Thank you!
