The photographer writes;
A shaft of sunlight fortuitously fell on this male Northern Cardinal at just the right moment. I regularly visit a set of cardinal families. I wish I knew which of the Central Park clans this fella was from but I don't. It does not take away from the enjoyment of this image, does it?

One of the strangest, and yet one of the most important ideas that grew out of set theory is the idea of cardinality, and the cardinal numbers.
This is a short post, in which I attempt to cover up for the fact that I forgot to include some important stuff in my last post.

Cardinals make me smile. And they sing when the days start getting longer, even if it's really cold.
I love a boy cardinal. He and a scarlet tanager are probably two of my favorite birds.
What a beautiful little bird! We had a few around my parents' house in Ottawa (Canada), but I haven't seen any in Vancouver.
What a lucky capture (rare!) of sun's ray spread on a cardinal's profile and frontal shoulder! Beautiful bird and also a skillful photographic composition. A very good job, BL.
