It was amazing - we stopped to gas up at a truck stop. I was walking around outside, watching some black birds hopping around in the parking lot. The thought occurred to me "Wouldn't it be awesome to see a red cardinal in all that white snow?" Immediately, as if it was scripted, this female flew right by me:
I took her picture, as I held my breath. And sure enough, right after her came her mate:
Sometimes it seems like God will just do little things to show His love, things that don't matter much in the grand scheme. But things to make you smile and feel His presence, as surely as if He were physically standing next to you. :)

Wonderful pictures! Cardinals are such beautiful birds.
So beautiful. Nothing like a cardinal. Your photography was blessed. :)
Wow, I think God smiled on you. Those cardinals are beautiful and so are your pictures.
Oh, wow! I held my breath just reading your post. We have a pair of cardinals around our house in springtime.
These really are beautiful birds in the true sense of the word. To see them with a background of snow is special.. your god was smiling down on you for sure.
They are so beautiful. I'm not sure if we have them in this country?
Like always, beautiful pictures!
Great Beauty from above.
I know just what you mean, odd times you feel a little unsure of your self, then Bamg Something happens to make you think all well and you break into a smile.
Ah Sharon! This is one of my favourite birds. We have a pair that live in our backyard. We call them Rose and Phil (Tokyo Rose and Philby). Stop by Poetikat's and read a couple of poems about God's daily gifts to us-birds, squirrels. Oh and dig a little further back to some heavier stuff that came out of nowhere.

That is SO awesome!
I have to say, that was pretty awesome! I'm glad you were able to come with us. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with you (and I'm sorry you caught Tori's cold.)
Oh, that bird is so lovely. I have only seen them on the odd Christmas card.
Lovely! Red birds in snow... one of winter's delights. Great shots!
