In case you were wondering...

The picture at the top of my blog was taken in NC in the winter of 2005 off of the back porch of the house we were renting. the elderly lady that lived there before us always feed the birds so we had to keep up with her tradition and feed them as well. One of the perks was we always had Cardinals and the males are always so pretty in the white snow. This picture just seemed more appropriate for winter and Christmastime than palmtrees and sunsets. It helps put me in the Christmas spirit. Also, the Christmas music I've been listening to helps.
