on Christmas morning
Dad gathered us by
the kitchen window –
the backyard was dotted
with paintbrush red
cardinals, over half
a dozen males in their
most social season.
their mesmerizing
chubby cheeks stored
many songs as
we waited
to hear just one

This is stunning.
thank you! i wish that there weren’t glass between us.
I really like the way the branches shoot out from one side of the photo. The leaves in the background are very interestingly shaped.
yes, i love the brushstroke quality! thank you!!
I can live in this photograph for days at a time. What stunning composition and texture!
this is our backyard!! (smile) can you believe the group of cardinals we had on Christmas morning?!
