Sunny spring day

It was a wonderful day, we were walking on the street in Reykjavik and enjoy the lovely light.

Warming up winter with archives from Spring!

I enjoyed a day of spring. Nice large of course. Taken from the little private(!) jetty at the south end of the lake. Very calm and peaceful (and warm!)

We have Northern Flickers in my neighborhood but this is the first time I have heard one here in full out breeding mode calling for a mate. It worked though I did eventually see a female show up. I hope it works out and we get more Northern Flickers around.

I was on Sumas Mountain yesterday and watched a pair mating up a cottonwood. It is spring!

Forget all other seasonal indicators. As a kid, when my Mama said, "Why don't we eat on

the porch?", it meant it was getting warm, spring had sprung and winter was over.

This shot is many years old, but it will be many more years before we can get shots like this in Big Spring Park. They "improved" the park and it will take some time for the trees to grow.

Iris pseudacorus. Other names: yellow flag, yellow iris, water flag.
