Just before it began to green the Sandhill Cranes made their way through our region.
Somedays you can only hear them flying high out of sigh in a cloudless spring sky. Somedays they are out foraging in wide-open farm fields just outside of town. Yet on this day we found a single crane blending into last years cattails in a shallow marshy area. Despite the lack of green a sure sign that spring was on the way.
In the blink of an eye it all just spings to life.
All across North America from north to south and east to west spring would feel incomplete without a Robin’s Song.
Catkins emerge like caterpillars crawling from a tree. One after another glowing in the forest light.
One after another springing to life.
Another sign spring has sprung.
Happy Earth day.
Hope you all have a chance to get out and enjoy the wondrous beautiful planet we all live on.
And just as an experiment how about we make every day Earth day for awhile. The planet would appreciate it.
When the sun shines it’s warm when the wind blows its cold.
Do two half’s make a whole or just a spring day?
While their emergence at home is still many weeks away.
Not too far from home a Mourning Cloak awakes.
Spring is in the air.
The first Female Rocky Mountain Bluebirds are back in town.
Perched upon a fence post with the backdrop a bright blue sky.
More blue is not a bad thing.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
