12/11: brave & bold

It was the first day that truly felt like December, and I was warm inside when I photographed this cardinal this morning.  His color caught my eye from a distance, and I admired his composure in the cold.

Lovely! Both of my grandmothers considered cardinals their favorites.

If I'm remembering rightly, Sandy, one of my grandmothers did, too!

I feel a little spoiled since cardinals are so common here that I take them for granted--but the sight of this one really caught my eye and reminded me that they're special even if they are plentiful.
