Best friends smiling and holding hands. Oops! I mean paws.

This Cardinal was peeking inside my window and I was amazed my his beauty.

A special moment between best friends.

Breaded ravioli filled with meat, sprinkled with parmesan cheese.

Visited the World Bird Sanctuary and found this beautiful owl with the most amazing eyes.
