with gusts up to 25 mph. Temperatures once again rose into the upper 80's. Too warm for April.
of the white lilac drifted through the house.
Spring is in her second act.
The pear tree our friends from England
gave us last September is blooming.
A treasured reminder of their kindness and friendship.
The dogwoods are blooming.
The birds have mated and are building nets.
We have moved the nuts and suet
to their summertime places.
Red Bellied looked around for a bit
until he found the nuts.
These days of fresh southernly breezes could
help the song birds migrate.
I have been following the migration of the
Hummingbirds.
Some have been sited in my area and even farther north.
I set up the Hummingbird feeding station.
Any day they could arrive.
We walked in the cemetery
this afternoon.
We saw a pair of Blue Birds.
In my backyard the bugs are waking up.
I look for them
on the flowers and in the grass.
I look for the bugs.
I have missed them.
Happy Sunday Safari.
I am savoring every minute of Spring.
Today it is Bumble Bees
that have stolen my heart.

Thank you for your wonderful views of spring! I am enjoying your colors while it continues to snow here. Your photos do touch my heart.

Besos,

Awesome! I love this tribute to spring...
Happy Sunday Safari. Your garden seems to be almost on the same time as mine. I haven't seen as many bugs yet though. I am sure it won't be long.
Your garden is much further ahead than mine Sherry ~ but we have the same warm temps here & yesterday spotted flies and hornets in the garden :-)
Hi Sherry, I sent you an e-mail but in case you didn't get it I'd like to thank you for the lovely comment on my blog. I have a link to your site on my blog and I think you bird pics are fantastic. I have been to Florida quite a few times, so I'm familiar with some of your birds, they make me feel quite nostalgic. Thanks again Sherry, have a lovely day Gordon
There is nothing like the first flowers of spring to bring joy to one's heart. Your garden is already looking lovely, Sherry. I saw a white moth yesterday, but otherwise I haven't spotted any bees or butterflies here; perhaps I should look more closely. I will also have to check out the hummingbird migration; I didn't realize they might be coming soon--I will have to set out my feeders.
My favourite shot is the one with the Bumble Bee on the blue grape hyacinth! They are my favourite flowers, along with yellow roses. We dont have bumble bees here in Australia, but we do have them in New Zealand.
