The other week, we went to the park with some friends for the afternoon. During that visit, I wandered off with my camera to take some pictures of ducks accompanied by a certain young lady. This young lady was very interested in the ducks, and when they came over to investigate, she decided to sit down at the edge of the pond. When she did, her eyes grew round and she giggled. “Oops,” she said, looking up at me. I wasn’t certain what she was talking about until she stood up to see the departing fowl. Then it was very obvious.

As I was putting away my laundry this morning, a flash of brilliant red caught my eye out the window. It was Mr. Cardinal. He’s never been this close to my bedroom before.

Beautiful as Mr. Cardinal is, there are times when I find him rather ridiculous.

Take today for example. He seemed obsessed with preening.

Maybe obsessed is the wrong word. How about consumed?

Then, I saw Mrs. Cardinal perched on the next tree over. Suddenly, the reason for Mr. Cardinal’s obsessive grooming habits became perfectly clear.

After all, one must look one’s best before a lady, don’t you agree?
