Cardinal in the Climbing Tree

cardinalinclimbingtree

In the “blizzard of ’09″ a few weeks ago… I looked out the front window to see this little cardinal playing in our climbing tree.

Only a few months ago, we spent many hours every day catching leaves as they fell from this lovely tree.

I love the contrast in these two pictures- the radiance of the red and green, the softness of the snow covered tree- with the bright red bird.

I am excited to see what Spring brings to the colors of our climbing tree!

Have a great weekend friends! Spend some time playing outside!

Is there a special place in your yard that you notice as it changes through the seasons?

    Great contrast! I have some poplars outside my kitchen window that I mark the passing seasons by. I am getting restless for them to change – but I do enjoy th ebirds that come and go meanwhile!
    I really love your blog! And your family is adorable.
