[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 265866, member: 12257"] Day 46 - Tough captures! It's a nice day in the low 60's (FABULOUS after wind chills at -10 to -15 recently), and I got the bike out to shine it up and get it ready for a ride into work this afternoon, when I heard the sound I've been trained to react to: The song of a male cardinal. You see, cardinals are the wife's favorite bird, but they are EXTREMELY shy around here. I've been trying FOREVER to get her a nice clean shot of one. Well, I got a little closer today... still not amazing, as he was WAY up in the top of our hackberry tree, and the wind was blowing the branches around a LOT! Here's a couple after edits and cropping heavily.

Have I mentioned how ready I am for this work project to be OVER!? [/QUOTE]
