Male Cardinal, by Tisha Clinkenbeard

As I sat on our upper balcony at our cabin in Gentry, Arkansas, I enjoyed the birds roaming around and taking advantage of the feeder I had placed on the railing. This particular red male cardinal took his time and watched the other birds and myself before making his way to the feeder. He preferred to hide in the trees without their leaves in the late winter.

Tisha Clinkenbeard works have been in exhibits at The Fine Arts Center of Hot Springs, Black Box Gallery in Portland, and in several fine art shows in Texas. She believes photography captured her years ago before we had the digital wonders for cameras. Her life offers many opportunities to capture the things that she sees as she wanders this earth. Her goal is to share what she finds Round & About – which was the inspiration for her photo blog: foundroundandabout.com. Two of Tisha’s photos have been appeared in the Birds & Blooms monthly online newsletter – April and December of 2011.
