White, Yellow, Pink and Green and Birds and Dragonflies in between!

Continuing with the spring photos today..

and some late spring ones too.

I love the bright, sunny colors that the new plants and

flowers bring to spring.

Especially the bright, neon green of fresh growth and the sunny yellows, bright pinks and bright whites...

Marsh Marigolds (cowslips):

New apple blossoms sprouting on our apple trees:

(at the time this posts, those blossoms are now apples growing, about the size of a large quarter already!)

Cherry Blossoms!:

Chipping sparrow at our feeders (just threw that in because with Spring, comes all KINDS of birds to our feeders!):

I always know it is getting warmer when I see that

the

dragonflies have hatched!:

Bohemian Waxwing in our apple blossoms!:

I loved this log full of mushrooms overhanging a field full of fresh white

Trilliums!:

Bright green, unfurling ferns!:

Mother Nature really does a good job of putting fresh flowers

and colors on its table for us after a long, drab

winter, doesn't she??

I'd like to invite her over to help me do my delayed spring cleaning...

what do you say, Mom Nature???

More of the U.P. Spring!

Today, I will still continue to show pictures of

our beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan spring

as it unfolded...

This tulip was about to bloom...but I loved the promise of all of the colors about to burst in this one~!:

A grackle in flight toward the newly sprouted leaves on the tree:

A chipping sparrow with "that look" in his eyes..

(you know the one)..

the "don't you have more SEED for me?" look!:

Every spring I await the

apple blossoms.....

here they are,

just coming out!:

A fresh tulip!:

A geese family!:

I love those fuzzy babies!:

I bet they are a handful to watch every second!!:

But, worth every second of the care they take!

In future posts, I caught closeup pictures of these little ones as they grew...

stay tuned!!!
