Cardinal in a snow-covered lilac bush in Cook County, Illinois. The snow was the heavy wet kind that clings to everything, creating a wonderful opportunity for pictures. And the cardinal kindly decided to pose right in the midst of it. Thank you to all of those who have taken a moment from their day to comment. It is much appreciated.

My heart melts to see a winner that is obviously an amateur like myself. I went through every photo, being a newbie here, and this one definatly caught my eye as well. I do remember it as being soothing to my eye and keeping relevant to the point. It almost looks photo shopped on a beginer level. Who am I to say? I have used photo shop once in my life. The red and white challenge were met here regardless of equipment used and it pleases me VERY MUCH!
