The Daffodils are popping, the bees are busy and the birds are almost ready to pair off and build nests.

Today, in sunny St. John's County Florida.

I heard the birds yesterday. Sounded like young ones. And this is in NY. Must put out bread and not get caught. It (the bread) usually falls out of my car when loading LOL!

Love the great egret in mating plumage. Nice pose, nicely processed.

Looks nice and warm as I sit here listening to the sleet clatter against the window as a cold winter wind howls.

Yay! Thanks for adding me to your ping list. Great pictures as usual— I love the macro bee shot!
.
Tomorrow should be sunny and 69 here in Arizona. Thinking about scooting over to Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix and snapping off a few myself.

Green with envy- it’s snowing outside and 10-15cm is in the forecast. OTOH I love snowfall at night if I don’t have to be anywhere in the morning; the silence out in the open is stunning.
