The arrival of the Red Winged Black Birds brings life back to the ponds once the overwintering waterfowl have left. This Female is perched and listening to the males who are just now starting to sing their songs. Clear Creek, Denver CO.

After the snow.
Last week spring came unsprung and it was wonderful.
Brrrrr…….
Yesterday ended with an afternoon walk in t-shirt and shorts. Today is another story and the beauty of springtime in the Rockies.
Photographed several years ago but this morning I was shoveling wet sloppy snow and cleaning off the cars for a drive to work not getting off a ski lift but a snowy day is a beautiful day nonetheless.
Spring has sprung
Poking out of the ground all fuzzy and free a wild crocus ushers in a new season. Spring has sprung.
Even on a cloudy day
Even on the cloudiest of days a Meadowlark sings it song. Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge Denver, CO.
The Robin Returns
Just this week the Robins have returned and the pre-dawn singing outside the bedroom window has started. His tune seems a bit rough right now, but heck, it’s early and this guy is just perfecting his song. Practice makes perfect.
First Blooms
Early Spring wildflowers and a golden sunset in Colorado Canyon Country. Fruita, CO.
A simple and rewarding way to end the day.
Fuzzy and Free
I love the natural quality of the wild crocus. Fuzzy and free. Spring has hit the ground running.
Wilson’s Phalarope
Long legs and all, a Wilson’s Phalarope is checking out a temporary pond along the ditch on a country road in northern Colorado last spring. Can’t wait to see these guys again this spring but that is month or two and a few spring showers away. Happy Tuesday.
Spring
The grass is not green but the cumulus clouds are back. Spring is here.
