Spring is Here

Well it looks like spring is here.

I was not feeling well today, so I stayed around the house and took a few shots. Watched the birds come and go and planted a few flowers. Sometime tomorrow I am planning on going out in search of subjects to shoot. Sorry this is another shot post, but not much happened today.

Sunny Day Macro!

This morning and early afternoon was just grand. Sunshine and warmer temps.

Went looking for some moreals, but only found one. Just a bit to early yet...a few more days. The best thing about this morning was...I found a blooming wildflower. This species of flower is a new flower for me. The Carolina Spring-beauty is one I have over looked. They look so much like the common spring beauty that I just never paid attention to them. The Spring Beauty has narrow leaves and the Carolina broader leaves. Another thing about today is my Mom and I spent a few hours together. We both enjoyed the morning and she spotted the first Mourning Cloak Butterfly. Than this afternoon I photographed the Bloodroot before it blooms. A few more days and it will be in bloom. Yellow Trout Lilies are not far behind.

A Nice Day!

   Almost completed my garden and ready for planting. I took a break and photographed a little today. The insect life is starting to get busy in my garden. Even seen an orb spider today. Won't be long and I be out in the garden after dark searching for spiders. The spring beauties are in full bloom now and the PaperWasp's are busy too.
