What gorgeous weather we've had the past few days...if you're starting to tingle over Spring Fever, it's for a good reason.
In walking Mercy today, I decided to forego the traditional park walk and revisit my 'hawk-forest' that the owner decided to poorly slash more than a year ago. I don't go there too often as with the new under-growth it's not user-friendly to Mercy.
However, winter has a way of reducing the foliage, and she could maneuver a bit more. Nice day for it, especially without burrs and ticks to worry about.
Caught this winged-one on a dead stalk briefly...luckily I got a sharp shot before it took off to parts unknown (rather camouflaged in it's arrays of browns)...
Mercy had enough 'vision' and room to romp a bit in the wooded mess still dormant from its winter's sleep...
...and yet the 'greening' has most definitely begun. Plant varietals all have their 'start' times, and so the staggered start begins...
Dandelions are hearty critters, no doubt...and they, along with their yellow-counterparted daffodils have been having a hey-day for a while, now....
...and the neighborhood has it's show of early blooms that make for a heart-warming scene after the grays of winter...leaves won't be too far behind...
This Silver Maple in my front yard is bursting with seed pods which in time will make mighty fine "whirly-gigs" and great little science lessons for the beauty of seed dispersion techniques. Ah, but I wax poetic...I do love all seasons, but there is something about the 'coming back to life' from the inertia of winter that warms the Soul and once again gives us Hope for better, warmer days.
Lately, there have not been better days than these...except I have to cut them short by going to sleep at 6pm. Enjoy!
