Wordless Wednesday - Signs of Spring

One of the things I love about the lot we live on is the abundance of nature that surrounds us.  Having a new camera allows me to capture way more than I was able to in the past. Until we get a new PC the photos I'll post will be unedited:

Goose Egg - Hatched

My Munchkin tells me both of these must be males because they are so colorful...

Sassy Male Cardinal

Gathering worms for their young after the morning rain.

Nosy rabbit on our deck before the garden was planted.

Frog or toad? Not exactly sure.

Sugar Spa Peas from seed

Still amazed how quickly they grew...

 I'll be sure to post garden pics throughout the summer... Trying a lot of new things this year on the deck. 

Already getting ideas on self watering systems to add for next year.

Mama Robin's Safe Haven

The threat in the weather forecast for snow today made me think of more pleasant Spring/Summer days.  We were blessed last year to have this Mama Robin lay two sets of eggs in a nest beneath a bistro table on our deck.  It was so much fun watching the whole process; from her laying the eggs until the last bird flew away from the nest. Here's a mini photo documentary of how it went:

Welcome to the world

The awkward looking phase that all creatures go through!

"Lunchtime!" says Mama Robin

Getting so big!

Ready to Fly!
