White and Red

Today it is snowing, and I put birdseed out for the birds.  A few minutes later I counted 9 male cardinals among the frenzy of birds -I don't know how many female cardinals were out there, too.  





Here's an interesting postscript:
When I told that spouse o' mine (twice) about all the cardinals outside, he glanced out, but didn't spend much time looking at them.  The second time, I realized...he probably doesn't even see the cardinals, any more than he sees ripe cherries in the orchards or the bright red maple tree down by the creek in the fall:  he's color blind.
