Female Cardinal

It just wouldn't be Christmas without this flower.

As the New Year arrives there are symbols of passing from one generation to the next everywhere.

Even in Winter in the desert, a flower.

Even children in the sixties can't resist turning their cameras towards the toy villages when the train is coming through.

The young lady knows the tree is more important than the building.

The female of a mating pair of Cardinals that have been in our backyard for a few years.
