Evening Grosbeak
A male Evening Grosbeak adds a splash of color to the local trees in much the same way those early spring flowers are adding a bit of color to the ground below.
Yellow Bells: Fritillaria pudica
Yellow Fritillary (Fritillaria pudica), just about 4 inches tall, but oh what a way to ring in the weekend.
Wishing you a fine day and wonderful weekend.
Twins
Identical no less with matching fur coats for those crisp spring mornings.
Hanging on
Even with a precarious grip we can keep hanging on.
Monday Mourning
With snow still lingering in scattered spots and the landscape just deciding it’s O.K. to turn green butterflies are starting to spring up and brighten the day. One of the first is the beautiful Mourning Cloak which can always be found hanging out up at butterfly hill.
From the forest floor
Todays post is brought to you courtesy of the forest floor. A place to discover wonders both large and small. Like the sculptural beauty of a leaf slowly working its way back to soil.
and a pine cone in all its’ glory.
So much to see in a 8 inch square.
yes, so much to see on the forest floor.
Mr. White
An Ermine still dressed in their winter whites peeks out from under a log. Seasons are changing and soon Mr. White will become Mr. Brown and we will have a hard time seeing him as he forages in the tall grasses of the fields nearby.
Boundless energy in such a small package makes them such a wonder to observe.
Empty the bucket
We all need just a wee bit of time to empty the bucket before it overflows and makes a mess on the floor.
A bit of time to let your brain drain of that endless stream of information you have taken. Information we cannot process or act on to slip away.
Just a few minutes to shut off the flow and open the drain.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
Gray-crowned Rosy Finch
We were pleasantly surprised one recent morning when we noticed a flock of birds foraging in the distance turned out to be beautiful Gray-crowned Rosy-finches. They were busy gobbling up the remaining seeds of some plants not buried deep under a winter of snow. Beautiful birds and ones we don’t often see.
