More This and That.....

We get out in the woods
whenever we can
to enjoy nature
and of course for me to take some photography.

So today, this is
a collection of some of the things we have seen
over the last month.

One of my favorite spring wildflowers
are Marsh Marigolds (commonly known as "cowslips").
They grow where there is a lot of water:



We were visiting my brother, and there is a marsh right on Lake Superior
where I can sometimes spot ducks or birds...

On this day, I got so excited!
I saw a blue heron in flight and hoped he would land close:
He
flew around...

and

around.....

and
around....

And finally landed!
This shot is a little blurry, as I hurriedly took it because he was looking at me
and thinking of taking off again:



I think I heard him humming: "Hit the road, Jack....":


So, even though I got some blurry shots, I was glad to get any of him at all.
because right after this one, he indeed
took off!:



Nothing prettier than
apple blossoms in the spring!
I am so lucky to have a small apple orchard in our front yard:




Except maybe
the gorgeous Trilliums!!:

Unfortunately, many of the spring flowers
bloom only a very short time
and then
go away.

I was so happy we got out into the woods
to see some animals and wildflowers on the day we went.
