A cardinal is perfect for this time as year.  Not only are they beautiful but are believed to be visitors from heaven.  Many believe cardinals appear when loved ones/angels are near, reminding us of departed family members and bring heaven-sent messages of love.  Ending this difficult year, we all need a little extra love and a true pop of color to brighten these dark winter long days.  We have a pair of cardinals who visit our feeder and appear like clockwork right at dusk before they roost for the evening.  
Wishing all a wonderful holiday season.

When we go for walks down our road, we're greeted by our forest friends. They stop what they're doing and stare at us until one of them gives the signal (that sounds like a sneeze).  Then up go their tails and away they go into the trees.

We see them every single day, so they know us. That doesn't mean they trust us.  That's okay.  They need to be wary of people. We love them anyway.

My winter wonderland is a silent world with a dusting of snow. If I'm lucky I'll spot some woodland friends, their beauty and grace filling my heart with peace.
