Cardinal In Winter
My Aunt and Uncle's front yard in Kentucky
My Aunt passed on the 14th and I am gathering pictures of her and her family that I promised to send to my cousins. While going through the archives I found this one from her front yard in Western Kentucky Jan 1, 2006. Snow on the ground and a small flock of Cardinals was in the yard hunting in the snow and trees for food.
We went back to spend Christmas with my family. Checked into the Airport Hilton in St Louis late Christmas Eve amid snow flurries and woke up to a White Christmas spent at my Dad's house. First White Christmas for the two younger kids. Then over the next couple of weeks we rented an SUV with 4WD and drove to Chicago, down to Kentucky for New Years and back to St Louis then flew home to California. Snow everywhere we went from 1" to about 8" depending on the place and day. The kids loved it.
Sigma SD10, Sigma 100-300 @ 300, 1/400 @ f/6.3, ISO 800
I gave it the PS Oil Painting filter because between the extreme crop and ISO the noise was real bad in download. Remember this is a 16 year old 10 MP model so ISO 800 was pushing it a bit.
