The air was crisp; fingers objecting to the constant exposure as I tried to capture the scene. Gloves are still a necessity.
The branches slowly take on colour, willows turning chartreuse and some bushes blushing red. They are getting ready to send out leaves. Some trees have flowered - not the flashy flowers yet - the modest browns and downy buds.
Each day new signs as the lawns begin to turn green and flowers send up shoots. But it's the birds that really let us know spring has arrived.
New life begins as they set up nests and hunt for food in this newly thawed landscape.
I like the time of year you've captured, Susan. It's a prelude for what's to come. I love the duck photo.
ReplyDeleteSo fun to see the advent of spring in full force in your area - great birding! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful captures of spring from your lens! Each photo is unique and lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis posting is for the birds. Sorry, couldn't resist. But really, it's so great to see the return of our feathered friends. Great shots.
ReplyDeleteWonderful bird shots! I can hear their songs and sounds as I look at your pictures. We are having lovely concerts over here, too. Magical time of the year!
