The Beauty Of The Changing Seasons

[Radogast]

I haven't seen the first resident bird yet... It shouldn't be long before Mr amd Mrs Blue bird and the Cardinal families return.....

I only see the bluebirds in winter, maybe I have your Bluebirds

 

[Heirloom]

Yep, things are popping here....

Thornless blackberries are leafing...

Blueberries are budding and thinking about leafing...

Daffodils are a little rain battered/splattered...

Peaches are thinking about flowering soon...

My poppies (I'm pretty sure) are just sprouting...

Leafy greens are really happy...

And this tree is putting on a good show...

Happy Spring everyone!

That was awesome Heirloom! Gave me that spring feeling all over the place. I love to see the daffodils especially, because when they start to die back in my area is when the Morel mushrooms will start popping. Happy day!!

 

[Radogast]

Heirloom,

Nice preview of spring !!

Had a pair of Cardinals patrol my girls yesterday. Never did get a good pic of the female.

Sheesh. A little hazy. Need to spring clean that window!

He's beautiful... I still haven't replaced the bird feeder Barney ate... and my birds are letting me know about it... I can hear them screaming at me but they are not coming out in the yard to let me see them... Hummm guess I need to get that done... I miss my birds....

Spring is finally here.......

I saw a Crow and a Squirrel by the crocus outside my window.

When I asked the camera to take a photo they were about 6 inches apart - the photo completed seconds later

i'm not sure. they don't produce fruit, but i do recall some sort of pod. here's a few more from different angles. it's so cool to sit there at lunch with the flower pedals falling in a light breeze. very lord of the rings-ish. and the people are sooooo quiet! great place for a break.

the tree on the right used to have a troll face lol. unfortunately it rotted off. but, it used to look like a troll waving his arms in the air. the incredible arm flailing tree troll is no more. i have to toke a memorial when i get off work.

Spring appears to have sprung in my back yard...

 

[Lady Cannafan]

Beautiful Gypsy! I see a doggy's face in the smaller tree.

Tead, strawberries already!!! Awesome.

[Dennise]
