Spring Arrives
First day of spring here in the northern hemisphere even though the temps are still dropping into the 30-degrees Fahrenheit. Hoping these shoots don’t freeze.

I’m all for a pop of spring in the dark of winter. How about you?
A recent post of mine was of a baby bird that I heard chirping outside on my front porch rocker. These are some more shots of the little cutie for Cee’s Black and White Challenge.
I was sitting in my living room when I heard this little guy chirping outside on the front porch. He was perched a top a pillow on the rocker. I sneakily snapped these images through the window, so as not to scare him away.
The temperatures sure are interesting around here. Yesterday it was 39F in the morning and warmed up to 77F by late afternoon. Even the foliage is showing signs of the dead winter and the buds of spring.
These trees were literally right next to one another!
It’s amazing how quickly the sun sets, or maybe just how fast time goes by when I am out walking and taking pictures. We went to a neighborhood trail last night and walked east which gave me a chance to turn back and take these shots of the setting sun backlighting the tree line.
What seemed like ten short minutes later, when we returned along the same path, the sun had disappeared.
The gnat clusters (I don’t know what else to call them!) were out in full force. If you look close, you can see them in the sunlight below. They were all along our walking path, so I felt like I had to keep my head down a lot.
All in all, it was a nice after-dinner outing. My daughter rode her bike; I got some decent shots (more to come), and my husband kept us both company.
