My friend Kristi at thankfulme.net posted a picture about the view out her back door. I was so surprised - she lives in the desert with wind generators on top of treeless mountaintops and an unusual tree nearby. (Unusual only because I had never seen one before.) I grabbed my camera to document what I saw out my door & to try out my new lens.
I took a picture of the tree & was surprised to see a cardinal and another unknown-to-me bird. Our neighbor has several bird feeders & they are attracting a lot of wildlife. The tree in the front has always been sort of gangly & awkward but it provides a lot of privacy from the houses behind us. Our lot ends right in the middle of the tree. I think that the little blobs near the top of the tree are mistletoe.

That other bird is a blue jay (at least that's what it looks like to me). May dad hates them because they eat eggs from other bird's nests. Glad you're enjoying your new lens! Very nice pitures. : )
How wonderful that you get to see beautiful red cardinals in your yard!
That unusual tree is a Joshua tree. They don't grow very many places. The first time I saw one, I immediately thought of Dr. Suess--Joshua trees look to me like something Dr. Suess would draw.
