Reds in Trees

Cardinal Hiding in Burning Bush

I was excited when I spotted a bright red male cardinal in my neighbor’s burning bush (← click and scroll down to see how the bush looked in the fall). I took the shot through the window, so it isn’t all that clear. My family (and their loud voices) came home; when I went outside, the male cardinal along with the female and some beautiful blue jays had disappeared.

Last week I saw this sweet little heart hanging from a tree here in Highland Park.
