Choke cherries provide an array of color and food for cardinals during winter. When they're viewed through a 120+ year old glass window pane, the visual effect can be interesting. Outside, snow flurries were falling but melting almost before they landed. The resulting melt created droplets of water hanging from the choke cherries. Shooting through the old glass gave a filtered effect to the scene.
