Old Barn

From our trip to the Ozarks.

Nashua Creek in March

We snowshoed in to Nashua Creek yesterday where we saw a bluejay that had been eaten, perhaps by the fox whose tracks skirted the edge of the ice.

More Signs of Spring

This first one is for Photo Friday's "Fuzzy".







I wasn't the only one who was enjoying the beautiful weather. These are more shots from my trip to the arboretum.

Signs of Spring

The Cypress trees are getting new leaves, and the wild flowers are in bloom at Mercer Arboretum.









I just noticed the box with the monthly themes box on the side bar. I really should be more observant. I have an idea for April... April Showers.

What's really out there

In contrast to my wishful thinking, this is what's really out there.
But not for long, right?

Spring is coming!

Although you can't tell looking out the window! Still lots of snow!

crocuses

These don't look real, do they? I can't take credit for growing them -- they just came up.

 

And I can't take credit for shooting them -- well, I pushed the button, but I just left it on "auto" and zoomed way in. The camera did all the work.

Spring Time In Picasa

I've been experimenting in Picasa, thanks to Michael's instructions on this post. Below is the original.

I had been feeling a little down this week, and tired. On Friday, all my clients cancelled, so I decided to go to the arboretum. The warm sun and all the new blooms completely changed my mood. The awakening forest was so full of energy. I wandered for about four or five hours, and left feeling energized. I also left with over 300 pictures, so you'll probably be seeing more of my walk in the woods.



Unfortunately, my little friends here were awakening as well. Actually, I don't think they ever went dormant this year. We didn't have a hard enough freeze, so I'll probably be seeing hoards of these things this summeer. They really love me :[.
