Signs of Spring

2008.03.15
Running through the yard, which is still covered with crabapples.

Hurry up, let's go for a walk!

Well, this is among the biggest of the butt-trees he's picked up.

A robin giving me "the eye."

They're a lot more plentiful now.

And the forsythia is looking like it might bloom for real this time.

A chickadee among budding leaves.

Little puffy grass things.

Weird looking prickly seed pods.

They look like spiny blowfish.

Catching our breath.

A view of the big church from far away.

I can see this red factory from my house, so I wanted to see if I could see my house from the factory. I can. :D

Getting yelled at by a JRT.

"Is this a ball?"

"Or a kitty? I'm so confused."

A very excited chow (mix?) outside a garage. Now that the weather's broken, we see a lot more dogs outside. For a while, it seemed like we were the only weirdos willing to brave the elements.

And the ultimate sign of spring? Insect life has returned.

The best part about today's weather? The realization that this is exactly what weather is supposed to be like this time of year. Warm enough to get away with wearing a lightweight jacket. No scarf, no hat, no gloves, no multiple layers. And it's only going to get better from here.

ncshutterbug Love your closeups! They all look great, and the second one of the robin is great, too. It's funny about your last one - I was thinking the exact same thing this morning. It's always the flies to return first, too.

I sat on the porch for a few minutes this afternoon, and a wasp started coming around. I *hate* them, and need to find a way to get rid of them - or at least keep them away.

Beagles3 #1 and #2 are Fierce Beavis! The butt tree is an unusual one for his tail to grab!

Don't the neighborhood dogs know that they are messing with King Beavis? He should just give the order "Off with their heads"

Cute "taking a breather photo!

And then there are Bugs!
