ABOUT THIS BLOG
Every day, the weather gods and the photography angels willing, a new photograph will be posted here. Some will be from my archive of nature photographs, taken both from our cabin on the shore of Lake Superior in Upper Michigan and in the garden of Three Crowns Park in Evanston, Illinois. From time to time I'll sneak in a shot or two taken while indulging in other passions.
MY BOOKS ARE AVAILABLE AS EBOOKS AND PAPERBACKS ON AMAZON.COM

Great shot -- but could you have Photoshopped out the feeder pole? It's distracting.
I thought about that, too -- but do I have the skill to blend that background smoothly? Dunno. But I'll give it a try.
Methinks the photo needs cropping, too.
I gave it a try, and it seems to have worked -- the steel pole just behind the cardinal is gone, and the picture was cropped by about 50 per cent.
