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???

Spring Into Summer...

More photos today of Nature's garden gifts.

Nothing purer than a dandelion in the summer!:

I can't tell you how THRILLED we were to see a Baltimore Oriole in our yard. He has made several appearances and each time I run for my camera:

I LOVED this one...it had been raining and he had just shook his feathers hard and was a huge fluff ball!:

Blue Jay in the rain:

Tulip center magnified:

I loved the softness of this pink tulip shot. I think Heaven must have some like this:

Forget-me-nots:

Another tulip center:

Fresh growth:

New pine needle growth:

Miracles. 

Everywhere.
