Early March Walk About

It was a warm and sunny day today. 

Too nice to stay inside. 

So I head out with this little guy, Whitey. 

And this big guy, Champ. 

Two Best Friends.

We make the rounds, first checking on flowers I recently planted. 

They seem very happy! Look at those smiling faces! 

The miniature daffodils are nodding their heads! 

They seem to look curiously around! 

On the way to the back yard, we spot our first Dandelions! 

A sure sign of spring! 

In a back corner, early Daffodils put on a show! 

Captured sunshine bobbing in the breeze. 

Look who we found, hiding among dry leaves. 

We see you, little frog, although you do blend in very well! 

Tulips emerge from a bed of lavender in a half whiskey barrel by the deck. 

While budding Narcissus enjoy the sunshine along the edge of the lawn..... 

Contained by mossy rocks. 

Sweet little birds enjoy a treat as we walk further along. 

Indian Plum trees unfurl their leaves.

Soon they will bloom, providing the first nectar for hummingbirds and bees. 

Shadows are long this time of year as the sun still hangs low in the sky. 

But look at that blue sky and those budding trees! 

Woodpeckers have been busy,
 hollowing out future nesting sites for feathered friends and small woodland creatures. 

Bare trees let in lots of light for early woodland flowers. 

A snow covered Mount Rainier peeks from disappearing clouds. 

Soon to provide spring run-off to fill rivers and streams with pure mountain water. 

But as the sun dips lower on the horizon, it's time to head for home.

With one last stop to gather daffodils. 

A cheerful reminder. 

To bring a sweet smile. 

In memory of a beautiful day.

I hope you, too have beautiful spring days on your horizon.
