Happy Thankful Thursday!
"Mornings are like nature in Spring. Humming with the sound of life." When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully. 😊
Think Happy, Be Happy!!
The Cardinal's crest seem extra perky on this day.
After many cloudy days, I am thankful to see pretty blue skies.
Below one of the tall pine trees seen on our fire road walk, a jet contrail and the moon.
Maybe the wind on this day was blowing the Cardinal's crest sideways?
Early morning view of the sky and contrails.
I watch this Great Blue Heron standing in a tree in the forest across from our driveway. It was a cold and windy day, I was surprised the heron did not move much.
I am always thankful to find good books to read.
Here is a list of books I read last week:
Play Dead...Andy Carpenter # 6 by David Rosenfelt..this is a fun series, I enjoy this author's humor.
Never Tell.... DD Warren # 10 by Lisa Gardner
The Beekeeper's Apprentice.. Mary Russell & Sherlock Holmes #1 by Laurie R. King
All of these are great books, what are you reading?

Live simple and be happy! 😊 Spread that happiness!

Hello Eileen!
I love your red man so much! ♥️
And your moon photo ... is breathtaking!
Enjoy your day!
Cardinals have been singing for a few days here and Red-winged Blackbirds have returned, and I heard the first male singing in the marsh yesterday. Spring is here whatever the calendar says!
Wonderful photos. That Cardinal is gorgeous.

Hello Eileen,
The Cardinal is very pretty, and you have taken many nice photos. I like the moon photos too.
Enjoy your day!
Such pretty nature photos - the gorgeous red cardinal, beautiful blue sky, and gray (blue) heron. I read The Beekeeper's Apprentice too and loved it.
Este pássaro vermelho é muito bonito.
Um abraço e bom fim-de-semana.

Hello and Thank you! Have a happy day!
I love the windblown Cardinal, Eileen! I'm reading a Michael Connoly whose title I can't remember.
I can't tell if it's blowing or he's tiling his head but it's very jaunty! That's a very nice capture, Eileen!
Nice pictures Eileen.
That red cardinal is so fantastic. His colors are so nice.
Greetings, Marco
The cardinal is so striking with his brilliant red color and black mask. Nice photos!
That cardinal with his head tilted is priceless.
...a fun pop of red!
Ohhhh...that Cardinal with his crest is lovely! Little birds are so tender...
Thanks for sharing this beauty.
All the best!
The cardinal is having a bad hair day...very pretty color on him! They have brightened up getting ready for the nesting season...I am not reading any novel at the present, but I am enjoying reading everyone's blogs and watching some you tubes in the evening when it's time to settle in and be quite and calm.
Another Gem Of Photos - Thankful Thursday?!?!? I Am Thankful For You.
Cheers
Such striking photography.
Delightful !!
I love the cocky Cardinal. Wish we had them around here.
Beautiful photos.

Beautiful photos, Eileen. The Cardinal is absolutely gorgeous. Love your moon shots.
I love that cardinal’s crest, such a jaunty angle as you say, a very dapper cardinal.
I love him, such bright vivid colors that would bring a smile, especially with his hair do. Great photos again Eileen. Enjoy your day and have a great weekend coming up.
That Cardinal really is beautiful! In the thumbnails of Thankful Thursday, he looks like he's giving my fox squirrel a funny look! hahaha! Enjoy your day! It's windy today so I'm inside getting things done. Hugs!
The heron is quite formidable.
I think I have read The Beekeeper's Apprentice.
Right now I am reading The Goodbye Café. I did not know it was part of a series when I started it. As soon as I finish it, I am going to get the first one.
A great group of photos today! Happy Thankful Thursday!
The cardinal is spectacular!!
I am loving that Cardinal!!!! I have a male/female pair that visit my feeders each day. I adore them. Thanks for linking up and have a GREAT weekend.
Hi Eileen, the cardinals crest does appear to be off kilter a bit. :-) But, a beautiful red pop of color in the not yet fully developed color spectrum of full blown spring. Happy Thursday!
Oh that little cardinal is so cute!
That cardinal is amazing!
That is one very colourful bird, have a good weekend.
Gorgeous Cardinal shots!
You have a way of getting the most beautiful photos of cardinals! It is one of my favorite birds. Before we moved we had oh so many in our yard. Now not so many! Thank you!
Amazing pics! I like the moon and the windswept look of the Cardinal.
Lovely shots! I've seen a heron in a tree but I didn't get any pictures of it. Usually I get pictures of them fishing because they hold still.
The cardinal is such a brilliant red. Just beautiful .Wow you read a lot of books in a week.
Hello Eileen,
What great photos of the Red Cardinal are these.
Perfectly photographed, my compliments.
Best regards, Irma
Fotos incríveis! Adorei todas.. mas aquelas com o passarinho vermelho, conquistaram-me por completo! Não os costumo ver por aqui... por isso os acho tão fascinantes!
Grata por partilhar, estas maravilhas daí, Eileen!
Beijinhos! Feliz fim de semana!
Ana
Marvelous captures all!
Wie immer wunderschöne, beeindruckend Fotos !
Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland
Preciosos cielos y Cardenal. Que generosa es la naturaleza Eileen. Me encanta llegar aquí siempre.
Te deseo un buen fin de semana.
Un abrazo.
That cardinal even seems more red than normal, if that were possible.
Love that Cardinal! Happy first week of March to you, Eileen!
I love the moon shots. Beautiful cardinal captures. Have a great weekend!
Really beautiful

Nice twin contrails! Beautiful moon photos, too.
I am so jealous. To see a P. Woodpecker woul be a dream come true!
Your Cardinal shot is so beautiful.. I wish we had they're bright red here during our grey, cold winter days. They are so cheerful!
You are my favourite moon photographer. You do such a great job. Thanks for sharing your reading list. I'll check out The Beekeeper's Apprentice.
These cardinals are really beautiful to see.
Such a shame that we don't have these beautiful birds in the Netherlands!
Greetings, Helma
