While robins are traditionally the first feathered harbinger of spring, there are many birds that have already returned before they show up. I’ve been seeing horned larks on the roadsides near open fields for about two weeks now. And Canada Geese have returned. I saw a small flock of about six in the air yesterday, so I snowshoe-d to the open water of the conservation area to see if they were there. There is more open water than a month ago thanks to the warm weather and there were a flock of about 50 geese. They didn’t notice my arrival and continued to preen, float and sit on the ice. Eventually one started ‘talking’, then more joined in. Evidently a decision was being made because suddenly small flocks started to take off. Welcome back!
…you can see quite a way. A balmy 10C made for an amazing morning on the ski hill.
Bright sunny days are making the snow recede very quickly. Here, the music of spring is the sound of running water.
I combine two uninspired images in one post…
This was the best I could do, standing upright to take the picture. And the banana was the only food that didn’t make me feel nauseous just looking at it.
Come on Maxxeee…let’s run!
We bought a new couch. When buying furniture, it’s important to consider the needs of the whole family…and their hair colour…
And, I drove to a Toastmaster’s meeting and on the way wanted to capture the colour of the evening sky. Colour was the only thing captured. Next time, stop the vehicle.
Already, post games withdrawal has set in. Don’t we need another occasion to wave the flag and flaunt our stereotypes?
