Wildflowers and Bumblebees.

I'm waiting for that day when I can sit down and look at wildflowers again. It has been a long winter and I need that refreshing sight. A forest full of flowers and the scent they produce is so calming. Most of the snow we got the other day is gone and I am happy about that. The feeders are full of birds again and I have filled the feeders twice today. Another thing I enjoy is watching the bumblebees work the flowers. I am really interested in finding the hive of the orange marked bumblebees that I have in my yard each year. Most bumblebees are marked with Yellow and Black. Rarely are they marked with Orange...as you can see in the blended image of two bumblebees. 
I'm also dreaming of the day the forests are filled with wildflowers again.

A Sunny Day!

It has been a sunny and warm day...46 degrees and the snow is melting.
Not only has it been a nice day, but the feeders have been busy all day. Seen the first Eastern Towhee this morning. Also had a Brown Thrasher again today. It won't be long and I will be out there looking for the long awaited wildflowers. I'm so tired of this snow and now that it seems to be warming up I am getting excited.

I am also changing my watermark...since my web site and all my other photo pages are connected I thought this would be better. I hope everyone has a great day and get out and enjoy the great outdoors.
