In Search of Spring

Ordinarily, sights of March here in the Northern Hemisphere would include sprouting daffodils, singing robins and light-weight jackets. Robins have been spotted but snow still covers much of the ground where they're usually seen tugging at worms. If you're finding signs of spring, could you please send them my way?

Until then, please enjoy a few of my random photos taken over the month of March. Please click each image to enlarge them.

This starling has been visiting my feeder for the past couple of weeks. We are perplexed by the length of its beak. Both photos were taken through double glass doors.




Perhaps it's not the same bird each time after all. If anyone knows whether some starlings just have beaks this long, can you please let me know?



Through the branches, the sun sets on the pond near my house.



Out walking near the creek on a sunny day. The water reflects the deep blue of the clear sky above.



The snow-covered embankment contrasts sharply against the water's edge.



In the cedar grove, we leave one of many peanuts for the squirrels or birds to find.



Frank and Benny, walking away from the grove. The setting sun shines on the snow and competes with contrails in the sky.



Back at the house, we worked on a colourful summer scene puzzle, once our cold fingers regained their mobility.

Head on over to Frank's blog for some of his beautiful late winter to early spring images. You'll be glad you did.
