The first thing I wanted to photograph when I saw this week's theme was the doorknob from Alice in Wonderland. It's somewhere on the Disney property, I know, but I wasn't going to find it this week so I had to come up with some alternative options.
I ended up with two choices. The first is a picture of "our" cardinal through my dining room window. He and his lady eat at our feeder every day, but catching a picture outside is almost impossible. They are both so aware of my presence when I try to sneak out and get a good shot. I was able to snap this from inside as they ate one day this week.
The second picture is the one I submitted. I was walking around the backyard looking for further inspiration when I noticed the hole in the top of Jordan's picnic table. Here's a pic of the whole table, just for perspective.
Looking through the hole in the middle, I saw the clover growing and had my shot. I had to take a few to get the positioning right, but I ended up liking this a little better than picture one. I think it just fit the theme a little nicer.
Hi Katie! This is Harsha from the Take52 Challenge. Love the cardinal shot too! Do the Mr. & Mrs. look the same? I love birds and had a bird feeder in Goa, but for some reason the birds never frequented it :/
ReplyDeleteHarsha, the female cardinal is a more muted red color, not as vibrant as her partner. They are so funny together though, they police that feeder all the time, scaring smaller birds away. I think they've claimed it at this point. Thanks for checking out my blog!
