I do have an opening

Nature is an incredible artist isn't she?
I'm ready to throw a ball forever.

I wish we had cardinals like that here
Thanks Dears <3
Hello Cloudia, the Red-crested Cardinal is beautiful. Lovely photos, I like the cute dog too.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
That red breasted cardinal is just stunning! It looks at home with its exotic coloration to be in Hawaii! Cute little pup, too.
Very lovely bird.
A colourful cardinal!
What a sweet doggie!
That Cardinal is a delight as is the pup - I would throw the ball all day for it! ;-)
I should probably Google this instead, but I’ll just ask you. Was the cardinal named after Cardinals or was it the other way around? Or do they have nothing to do with eachother at all?
I love that dog with the ball in its mouth.
Incredible-looking cardinal!
I've never heard of that Cardinal but how showy and beautiful! Love your post! Hugs!
I believe the bird was around before the bull Club but don't quote me on that. Thanks for visiting everybody
