I Got Him: Part ONE

Remember my whining about not being able to get a Cardinal on camera???

So it went down like this:

We got the foggiest day we have had yet this fall.

I look out the window at the lake, like I always do.

And there.

Sitting in the apple tree...

in the FOG

was my elusive Cardinal!!!!

I run to get my camera...

And he sees me coming to the window.

I thought for SURE he would fly.

Instead, he tries to HIDE:

He thinks the branch is hiding him:

But I was patient.

And he finally relaxed a little.

Then?

He started downright showing off:

Showing me his wonderful backside.

His gorgeous plumage.




And then, he gave in.

Finally.

He blessed me with a front shot:

But enough was enough.

He flew:

Sigh.

But at least I got some chances to catch him on camera.

But, wait....

he came right back!!

To give me some more chances!:

I wished it was a clearer day to get clearer shots.

But hey, I wasn't complaining!!!

He gave me some time to catch his gorgeous self:

And so much so, that I have enough for a second blogpost!

Stay tuned for Part TWO...
