    Wonder how they got them to sit still long enough for heart tattoos? :D
    Lovely photos.

    We don't have anything as exotic looking as your Cardinals. Everything about them makes them a bird that stands out from all the rest. :-D They would make lovely Christmas cards as well as Valantine ones. :-D

    Cardinals make great pictures especially in the winter. The contrast is striking.
