Spring has actually sprung in our neck of the woods. Nothing more than a few minor patches of snow remain. And in the course of just two days, our lake went from a frozen grey-white mass to a gently-lapping, joyously-waving basin of brilliant blue beauty. Grass has begun turning perceptibly green and yesterday, a few clumps of pretty, purple crocus flowers appeared outside our kitchen door.
Bye-bye winter. Don't let the spring door hit you on your way out!
The photos below, go back to a bit earlier in the year - when we still had the white stuff. Before too long, I should have actual spring pictures to show you - just like the rest of North America but for now, these will have to do.
I semi-regularly do a blog post with quotes which I enjoy putting together. This one is a bit different.
All of the quotes are from books and/or movies but most of them have been somewhat fractured to fit the images. I hope you enjoy my mis-quotes. And hopefully the photos also.
All right, Mr. DoeMille, I'm ready for my close-up. (Sunset Boulevard)
May the Moose be with you. (Star Wars)
Nobody puts Skitty in a corner. (Dirty Dancing)
Here's looking at you, Red. (Casablanca)
It was the best of climbs. It was the worst of climbs. (A Tale of Two Cities)
Or is that.. A Tail of Two Kitties?
As God is my witness, I'll never do laundry again. (Gone With the Wind)
It was dove at first sight. (Catch-22)
Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives eggstraordinary. (Dead Poets Society)
Frankly, my deer, I don't give a damn. (Gone With the Wind)
Call me Fishmail. (Moby Dick)
Thanks for indulging me. More photos coming up soon.

Thanks for this Hilary. I loved both the awful puns and the animals.
Cute. :)
I laughed out loud! My favorite is: "Nobody puts Skitty in a corner". :)
It is a pleasure to see your photos, the first gives the impression that the animal knows you. They are really well!
Tomás.
Oh my, the 2 cats together :)
These are great! Good laugh for me on this early morning. Great photos as well. I would like to try this sometime! Dead Poets Society is one of my favorites and I would like to see that again!
Well, that's a fine kettle of photos you've given to us!
Very punny.

Oh, I just loved this, Hilary. I especially loved the Skitty in a corner. :-)
Real good, I like the cat in the sink. I have one that peeks when I shower and licks the wall.

i linked to you today!
Great pics as usual and fun quotes.
I've heard it said that puns are the lowest form of humor and I tend to agree except when done well and in a proper context.
Bingo and bingo.
Good stuff, thanks!
Oh my goodness, Hilary, the first image of the deer is gorgeous!!! I just love those creatures.
Happy day to you!
Scarlett... oops, I mean Hilary, never doing laundry again is my fav; probably because I wish I could make that statement.
Very entertaining post, Hilary!
Your sense of pun is eggstraordinaryly wonderful.
Well done ;) Amazing photography as usual. Your previous post with the Blue Jays and quotes was totally enjoyable as well. Glad to hear winter has finally left the building, and am sure you are appreciating signs of spring.
You are such a master with words and pairing them with your beautiful photos. "Nobody puts Skitty in a corner" was my fave. :) Look forward to your spring photos!
Thanks for the smiles. Love the one of Skitty in the sink. :)
You are too funny!
Oh yes, the first one, it is beautiful, and others are amazing too, love it.
Love the closeup of the deer, and the kitty in the sink really made me chuckle.
Cute and clever! I love the tail of two kitties.
Oh these are good. Love your humor! Keep 'em coming!! ;o)
Wonderful pictures! Awesome editing of quotes!
Blessings and Bear hugs!
