I don't recall taking this photo of a female northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis), but I take gobs of cardinal photos. They are colorful and very photogenic and perfect for when I can't decide what I want to post.
You know, the photographs that I post here are not quite a vivid as the same photographs that I post at my pixel's gallery, because here, I reduce the size of the photos and usually make a slight reduction in the quality of the photos to make them easier to load.
