Female Cardinal

As is the case with most species, the male is so much prettier than the female.????   The Cardinal that catches our eye is that beautiful bright red one, the male.  (Perfect example was my photo posted April 16, 2012.)  But this female struck me as particularly beautiful.  She seems to be attuned to her surrounding and in perfect control of all things except, maybe, her hairdo.

Well until tomorrow, Tweetles,
