I'm glad you enjoyed the egg pic and the quotes. Much appreciated. :)<br /><br />• Zuzana, you're definitely into warmer weather than we are. I imagine it will happen suddenly here but for the most part, our spring has been about a month behind schedule. Thanks always for the visit. :)<br /><br />• Well thank you, Bob. Coming from you, that means a lot to me. :)<br /><br />• Thanks kindly, Ruth. I'm glad you enjoyed. :)<br /><br />• MJ, thanks for stopping by. :)<br /><br />• Thanks very much, Daniel.

Thanks for the visit. :)<br /><br />• Amy, you folks in those warmer climates.. I'm envious. Yes, it's real.. hence the colour "robin's egg blue." Beautiful, isn't it? :)<br /><br />• Yaya, it's been pretty rainy but the grass sure has been doing well because of it. I hope you're right about that bird too. I'm not sure. Thanks for stopping by. :)<br /><br />• MPM, I'm keeping your Cupid in my best thoughts. I hope you'll find your sweetie very soon.

And much better health! :)<br /><br />• Shammie, you're so right. It's wonderful how the earth awakens again each year. And as much as I gripe about winter, it sure does make me appreciate spring and summer. :)<br /><br />• Thank you, Gary. :)<br /><br />• Russell, you're not alone as far as autumn being your favourite season but it's not me who's keeping you company. ;) I love this time of year.. and especially summer.

I'm glad you like them. :)<br /><br />• Daryl, spring allergies would be almost as bad as pet allergies! I can't promise you that it's a hatched shell but in either event, some creature endured.. either the young robin of the critter which sated its hunger. ;)<br /><br />• Thank you, Pat. Much appreciated. :)<br /><br />• Karen, thank you. I enjoy finding those inspiring quotes. :)<br /><br />• Anyes, thank you so kindly. Very much appreciated. :)<br /><br />• Lisa, the season has begun in earnest. Thanks for stopping by. :)<br /><br />• Bonnie, that's so true. We always feel so rejuvenated in the spring, don't we? Thanks for the visit. :)<br /><br />• Thank you, AC. I do not have a macro but I fake it with a 70 - 300mm lens from a distance.
