Happy new year, everyone ! I'm back after my holiday break and travel and hope to catch up with all the posts and messages from all my wonderful fellow bloggers. Today's click is of a red cardinal perched on a tree. I shot this picture using my zoom lens from quite a distance to avoid disturbing it . It looked magnificent in the brown backdrop and I cropped the original image to get a close-up view. Northern cardinals are popular and loved birds and also been named the official bird of about seven U.S. states including the tar heel state of North carolina!

Thank you so much Raj, appreciate it. Wish you also an awesome year ahead.I did take my lens with high hopes but due to extreme low temps was mostly confined indoors , nevertheless it was great meeting family and so mostly indoor clicks around the xmas tree , food and family 🙂
