I must say Spring arrived on the 20th and the Hyacinth said what is happening.

The crocus bed went to sleep under a bed of snow.

The one lone daffodill drooped to the ground.

My leafless Ohio Buckeye tree got a coasting of white.

So did my car. Where is Spring, just around the bend.

This is a large White Poplar in the neighborhood. You can see it behind my Ohio Buckeye Tree.

This is a Dogwood Tree in the neighborhood. It is showing some signs of blooming.

These are the Maple Trees that line our street and make a canopy to drive through.a

I have several on this theme.

Do you see Homer Simpson?

I enjoyed this bush at the base of the rocks.

Here is a view in color of the red rocks in the canyon.

I looked up and what did I see but the tops of Christmas trees that my neighbor planted to decorate the back of his yard. They are really tall now. Check out all the pine cones, the squirrels love the pine seeds.

 The Sun trying to shine over the trees on a cloudy day.

We did have some clear nights and the Moon did shine.

Looking up I saw the Moon and in the lower left a planet Jupiter.

This was our Moon on many a night looking up through the hazy sky.

Our yard today after a warming span and rain storms last night. We have a snow storm heading our way. Where did all that snow go? Can you see the lake?

I really enjoy getting photos of birds. Here are a few I captured through the years. This is a Carolina Wren that came to the feeder.

This is a Rose Breasted Grosbeak on the top of the feeder.

Here are some Ruby Throated Hummingbirds getting a drink.

This was a flock of Wild Turkeys I saw.

Here is a Peacock showing off for the Peahens. They really make some load calls.
