Last Monday, shortly after Juan V left from working with me in my garden, I had a visitor who happened to be a male Northern cardinal. He is featured in the imagr atop this entry which is very aimilar to the ones included in this past Tuesday's (5-4-2021) blog post.
As I stated in thse entry, "This incident was most welcome after having made my place more beautiful with yesterday's plantings. In any event the handsome creature is featured in the sequence of images atop this entry which serve as a play-by play to his discovering peanuts I had placed in a small petri-dish-style bird feeder, that hangs in close proximity to my lush pair of kiwi vines."
In any event this male cardinal's visit was followed by a visit from an array of other avian creatures including a very young female cardinal.
She may be his daughter as you might also surmise from looking at thr next sequence of photographs which were taken later that same afternoon.
The reason I am guessing this little girl cardinal may be the daughter of the male who had visited me earlier is this: After I loaded my camera's memory card into my computer and was able to see the images on a large monitor, I noticed a glimpse of red coloring towards the upper right portion of the image and I'm thinking that might've ben him, watching over her.
At one point she turned her head to look towards that area (which is featured in the following photo-ops).
I never tire of observing the antics of the cardinals (or any other bird for that matter) and am so grateful I have been able to share my observations with others through my three volume hard-cover book series, Words In Our Beak.

| MY BOOK SERIES They are directed to children and adults who are curious about birds, and want to learn about them from a unique perspective. Cam, the aforementioned cardinal, along with her husband Mac, also the inspiration for two of my jigsaw puzzles and they are available in two sizes (500 pieces and 1,000 pieces) via Fine Art America (FAA). Two of the puzzles in my collection, A View From The Tree Tops and Cardinal Love 3, are based on cardinals who have spent time in my roof extension gardnen and/or my building's courtyard. These products can be seen within the next sequnce of pictures.
The image used for my A View From The Tree Tops puzzle is included in volume one of my book series, Words In Our Beak. And the image used for my Cardinal Love Three puzzle is featured on one of my face-masks.
Addditionally, FAA has also rendered my cardinal-themed images, Cardinal Love 3, on to a note-card.
FAA also has the capacity to render this picture on to an array of surfaces for wall art. These surfaces include acrylic...
... for varying sizes of wall art.
Northern cardinals seem to show how much they care for their spouse by feeding each other as evidenced in my cardinal themed image titled Cardinal Love 2. This can as seen in the image directly below, which has been rendered on to a greeting card and is available via my shop that's located on Fine Art America's site. FAA can also print this image on an array of surfaces for wall art, including acrylic...
...special art paper...
...as well as wood...
... for varying sizes of wall art. FAA also offers this selection in a frame as evidenced directly below. I'll conclude this posting with the next set of photos which feature works of art that are based based on my image Cardinal Love 1, and they show cardinals listening to each other. As you can see, the colors of the female (left) are muted giving them a protective camouflage. Deep red coloring in the males of this bird type indicates they are healthy and might make good partners and fathers to their children. Perhaps this is what is on the mind of this female cardinal during her conversation with a potential mate that took place from atop a railing which surrounds my rooftop garden. Whatever the case may be in this scenario, Cardinal Love1 when rendered on to a card makes a perfect salutation for the one near and dear to you. This card is also available via Fine Art America . They can also render this selection on to an array of surfaces for wall art, including acrylic... ...canvas...
...metal...
...special art paper...
...as well as wood...
Additionaly they also offer framed images of Cardinal Love 1. |
All of the cardinal-themed "merchandise" mentioned here makes for a perfect gift on any occasion, but perhaps might be especially nice for an upcoming holiday next month, June 20th, 2021, which is Father's Day.
