Early Bird

In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Early Bird.”

I took this photo this afternoon in a wetland area near our house. I spotted her while I was driving and pulled over. She was the only one there. Indeed, an early bird!

Perfume

Today is the first truly warm day of the spring here. The feel is that we are well into spring yet, because of the severe winter tender petals are still in bud stage. To awaken spring within me and  for a chance to dream of the type of garden I wish for this year I set out for the terminal market.   it is an open air market and everything is in full bloom.  As I stroll down the aisle the very much alive and blooming rose bushes are in competition with the fully blooming hyacinths. It’s a bonanza of colors, and the breeze stirs the pot.
