Signs of Spring!

Ahhh.... Spring is truly arriving here in North Texas. I'll allow Mother Nature to share her show with you  - She speaks far more eloquently than I ever can!

Sterling images there Mr. Mead. You are performing a tremendous service bringing hope to us snow bound residents of planet Earth!

Beautiful shots, John -- the birds are lovely, but those incredibly colored flowers really stand out!

Lovely, lovely series. And can I say I'm jealous? We're supposed to get snow in Pennsylvania today. So much for March going out like a lamb.

That second photo -- what a "Pow!" of color!!

If that Sparrow only had some purple beside the yellow on its head it would make a perfect match with the Violas! :-)

Carol said...

Such wonderful photos! I love Juncos, but I want them to leave here, as they're always associated with snow. :)
