Friday Feathers
Here we are at the end of the year and in looking back over the past 12 months, it's hard to believe I've managed 52 weeks' worth of Friday Feathers posts. I'm not 100 percent sure that there are 52 Friday Feathers posts, and perhaps when I have nothing better to do I'll go through the entries and count them. Not that it matters much, but for some reason I'd be really surprised if I actually accomplished that small feat. To me, posting at least once a week is a feat unto itself, but I digress.
What better way to end a year's worth of photos than with the ever-elusive Northern Cardinal. This particular bird afforded me numerous opportunities to make a fool of myself, constantly chasing it around my mom's backyard in pursuit of that perfect photograph. I had a dozen or so chances to get the photo and somehow I've yet to capture the one that really wows me.
But hey, there's always next year, right? As was the case last time around, the new year typically gets off to a slow start photography-wise. Though I already have one photo to begin Friday Feathers 2008, I can only hope that I'll have some new photos to follow that one. We'll see what happens!

I've really enjoyed your Friday Feathers since it's often hard to catch a good look at a bird when he won't sit still. He does for you though!
Happy New Year filled with more than feathers for you and yours.

Well done on the Friday Feathers, your pics always manage a "wow" from me anyway. On my last visit to Australia I was up in the Blue Mountains visiting friends and we were sat out on their patio when first a flock of Sulphur Crested Cockatoos arrived noisily quarrelling at the feeder, they were then joined by a swarm of Rosellas and Galahs and finally budgerigars. Amazing moment - and no camera on hand!

Am tardy with my replies but here they are!
Greg - thank u! :-)
Tine - I'll try, I promise. Though pigeons are always around, the other more colorful ones tend to hide out in winter. We'll just have to wait and see if they cooperate! :-)
Zoe - ditto 2u2!
Ted - you called me 'sweetie' ? aw shucks. Thanks! Happy NY to u too!
Pat - thank you, you're too kind! The birds you write about in your comment sound really interesting... especially the Sulphur Crested Cockatoos. Bummer you didn't have a camera. I really hate it when that happens.
