Life

Life has been hectic lately. Feels like someone keeps throwing me curve balls. I was hurrying off to a workshop early one morning last week and as I pulled out of my garage, there in the alley was a deceased cardinal. I had to stop and take a shot of it. As I was taking the pic it I thought just how lucky I am to still be here, able to enjoy my life and the things around me. I couldn't ponder the thought too long as to avoid being late, so I hurried on about my day. Later that afternoon when I returned the the cardinal was in a very much different state. However, despite the devastation I still found him to be quite beautiful. So I once again snapped a few shots. By the next day all that remained were a few feathers. Here one day gone the next. Life can be so fleeting.

Here is a shot of the cardinal, hope you enjoy...
