Feathers

The thrill of the chase: I have been chasing this cardinal (which I've named Larry) for months. I've chased him in the rain, the snow, the blistering heat and the mind numbing cold. I've stalked him through the woods, neighbor's yards...up and down the streets in my neighborhood, you name it, but I could never get a decent shot of him. Last Tuesday I happened to look out the window and there he was, sitting on a wire across the street from my house- taunting me!! I grabbed my camera (which I always have on stand by in case he appears) and quickly snapped this shot...sadly this is the closest that I've ever been to this guy...I will get my shot!!!!!
