Cardinal Feather


The cardinal feather caught my eye immediately. The bright red against the black of the road.  The soft against the hard asphalt. The natural against the manmade.

I never saw one on the ground before.  I was relieved to find out that it’s normal for cardinals to molt their feathers in late summer. Beautiful, almost sacred.

Summer giving way to fall.  A little sad, but a reassuring that everything has its season.
