Sights like this definitely catch your eye!
While driving home from town this morning, I couldn't help but notice this. A striking male cardinal was perched in a flowering fruit tree. The wonderful pink color of the blossoms and the bright red bird caused a beautiful combination.
Thankfully, I had my camera with me, so I took the time to spin around and try to capture some photos. I was blessed that the bird had stayed still, and allowed me some quick photos. It seems that the camera was more focused on the flowers than the bird, but they still turned out alright. I wish that I had had more time, but I'm pleased to have gotten the pictures that I did before the bird flew away. Here are some of the ones that I did get. Enjoy!
THE WONDERFUL COLORS OF CREATION!

I wish we had them in England, lovely birds. Cheers
beautiful birds, I love it
Yeah, these have always been on my list of favorites!
Very beautiful birds with amazing flower color combinations @papa-pepper. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah, with a combination that amazing, I had to stop to take some photos!
Why do you stop ?
Wow beautiful thanks for sharing upvoted and followed.
I love bird watching. That sure is a pretty picture of a cardinal in that pink flowering tree.
Wowww. Very beautiful @papa-pepper.
Nature is just breath taking! Beautiful colours... Nice one!
That it is! Beautiful and breath taking!
Pretty! Needs to work on that camouflage, though.
LOL! You are correct about that.
good color combination thanks @papa-papper . I like it
This is beautiful...what a rear breed of colourful bird. Still trying to figure out the breed of such colourful bird standing on a colourful flower. This picture is extraordinary and I hope I am permitted to store this pictures on my phone? Thanks for sharing @papa-pepper.
You can keep the photos if you want.
Alright thanks.
you use a good chance to photograph this bird .. this bird is very difficult to find .. the combination is very good. the bird stands on a stem that has a beautiful flower ..
This is beautiful Sir.
The pink against the red is lovely to my eyes.
Lovely to my eyes too!
Is that a Cherry tree in bloom. I can't even imagine trees blooming right now. It is currently about 40 degrees, windy and we are expecting snow tonight. This winter is "the Thing That Wouldn't Leave". Makes it hard to get into the spring spirit. Anyway awesome photos.
I think it may be a peach. Not sure, as it is not my tree...
Wow, you all must have a tremendously long growing season. Our peaches are at least a month or more away from bloom.
photography animal is very beautiful and very cool
it is true that the baby @papa said it was beautiful once I saw it.
Great capture! That cardinal needs work on his camouflage skills!
That he does, but then I may have missed him!
LOL!
Interesting post, it certainly attracted my attention. the combination of birds and flowers is very beautiful. Very perfect.
Thank you @udinleo!
Look how beautiful they are... Wish one could have them as pet
It's a beauty to behold
Very eye catching
The bird was patient enough for you to take a photograph, I guessed it realised that you are @papa-pepper, a lover of nature, animal and beautiful creatures
What's the name of the bird?
Please!!!!!
Wow, what a great colorful bird. Red bird, Red color , that's my favorite color. How I wish it can be mine. Awesome post. Weldone work @papa-pepper
Wow. This should be on some cover magazine.
So gorgeous. What a beautiful red bird and like you said, it was just the perfect shot with the bird sitting between the pink blooming flowers.
Amazing shot @papa-pepper
Yeah, I thought those blossoms topped it off!
What a lovely animal to care for. Animal care.
I guess we are getting another noreaster, I wish we could have Spring someday too.
Yeah, rough stuff up there! I was planning a trip North, but I may postpone it!
seems to have cleared up, hopefully that was the last of it.
Very cute
It's just too appealing
Beautiful pictures! It's starting to bloom here in Switzerland too! Here, for example, wood anemones.
Best greetings from Switzerland
Cool! Wood anemones? Those sound interesting!
Many Thanks!
Proof of the worst proof yet, because the bird flew away. Hahahaha. We understand. That was really a beautiful shot Papa. That is one fine bird. Perfect blend i would say. Having your camera with you ALWAYS, like you said, is for a moment like this. Well done. You have amazing eyes to spot that.
LOL - Glad that you liked the proof! No bird + out of focus!
Yaaaay!. Hahaha love it.
Very beautiful blossoming peach! But the bird is special! We do not have such bright birds.
Yes, this is the male of the Cardinal species. A very vibrant bird indeed!
I have not have the privilege to see this beautiful bird. Thanks for sharing!
As always you bring to us great pictures for the lovers of nature. That cardinal is really beautiful.
What perfect timing! And I guess your army jacket helped with the camouflage, so the bird didn't spot you and fly away lol
Love cardinals. Used to have one visit my kitchen window every morning and watch me doing dishes. Don't know if he was supervising, criticising or looking for something interesting to eat...
They are indeed colourful pictures. I so much love the colorful bird. Will not mind having something like that as a pet
Making some good use of the new camera! It is amazing to be able to make a record of the things we see!
Wow, lucky photo opportunity! Really great color combo!
I dont know if I believe these are your photos though... That proof is awful...
;)
This is the first time I've ever seen this bird, it's very unusual. And it is very similar to your avatar ;)
Beautiful! I love cardinals, and you got such a stunning photo; the pink flowering buds makes a nice contrast :-D
That's striking thanks for sharing it
This is a very beautiful bird, A few weeks later I've seen birds of chants Is this your pet bird @papa-pepper

Beautiful shots of a beautiful bird!
