Here's a lovely little cardinal that I photographed last year in my sister-in-law's backyard. I would like to get a picture of a cardinal in the wild someday, but so far they've been too quick for me.

Unless your sister-in-law's backyard is a bird sanctuary, surely this still counts as "the wild".

There is nothing so beautiful as cardinals in the snow.

Umm, cardinals are backyard birds. Unless you SIL’s backyard is caged in, that is the “wild”

Great photo! Even the bird's little claws are clearly visible.

I started blogging in 2002 at my own site. In 2004 I got hired by the Washington Monthly and then moved to Mother Jones in 2008, where I blogged and wrote for the print magazine for 12 years. Finally, in 2021, I came full circle, leaving MoJo to once again blog at my own site.

Prior to blogging, I was vice president of marketing for Kofax Image Products, a software company in Irvine, California. I’m married, no kids, two cats. In 2014 I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow. It’s currently incurable, but modern treatments are pretty good and I remain alive and hopeful that a cure is on the way.
