You Know It's Spring

when Brody sits on the front porch

 and watches a chipmunk...

 and the chipmunk makes a run for the

front steps but changes it's course

in the blink of an eye!

Harlequin Ducks

Today was a beautiful day to walk along the

Marginal Way in Ogunquit.

A short distance in I noticed what appeared to

be some sea birds I had never seen before.

Sure enough and to our great surprise they were

Harlequin ducks!

What a treat!

Hope you enjoy seeing them, too!

Reminders of Spring Inside and Outside

Could spring be in the air?

Thinking Spring

Though it still looks and feels very wintry outside

I'm thinking of spring while I draw and paint!

First Day of Spring

Could this be the first day of spring?

Snow!

A large snowstorm  took this chipmunk by surprise,

he just woke up from hibernation a few days ago

and spring is tomorrow!

I noticed him in the garden sitting on the top of a

weeping mullberry.

(can you see the chipmunk in the photo above?

A Beautiful Visitor Early in the Morning

This beautiful woodpecker visited

for a brief time this morning.

Nice way to start the day 

and to bring happy birthday wishes to

our nephew, T.

Mergansers

Loved the sky and sea in the late afternoon...

can you see the mergansers...

here's a closer look...so fascinating to watch on
a winter's day.

Morning

While Brody stretched out for

 

 

 

a nap this morning ( it amazes me how he stretches

out his back legs!)

 

 

 

the chickadee was surrounded

by the fluffiest snow.

It was so very beautiful!

Have a look over here.

Intent

Whenever Brody sees D

near the kitchen counter,

his eyes follow his every move and his ears

listen for a special sound...

the  crinkle of the bag of the Greenies treats...

he is ready and waiting!
