Croci in our garden is a true signal of Spring for us in Ottawa.
The bokeh comes courtesy of a neighbour's Christmas lights still hanging in a tree.
During the spring and early summer, it's not just the milk van that will wake you early - it's dawn chorus time again. From March to July, those feathered alarm clocks are at it again, as they defend their territories and sing to attract a mate.
Our songbirds time their breeding season to the warmest part of the year, when there is plenty of food and lots of daylight in which to find it. As winter turns to spring, the lengthening daylight switches male songbirds into breeding mode

Thanks for stopping by.
Back to work - and the homestretch of the last 6 weeks of the school year!
Here's another of Frontenac Falls and the beautiful Hepatica (Liverworth) growing nearby.
Happy Monday!

Yesterday, was a wonderful sunny day for the Spring Equinox! I had to get out to see what was blooming and found these frilly yellow trumpeters of spring in my side yard. :-D These warm my heart.
I borrowed this from William Wordsworth, I hope you all enjoy!
"The Daffodils"
"I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A Poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils."
A lazy afternoon tea on a cold spring day — some fresh spring mini-daffodils from the garden and the cheery warm light of an oil lamp brighten an otherwise cold and gloomy day.
Cistern Spring is a very large hot spring in the Norris Geyser Basin, very close to the pool for Steamboat Geyser. The two features are linked. Steamboat only erupts on rare occasions, and most of the time when Steamboat is dormant, Cistern Spring constantly overflows and deposits new sinter in the area, continually expanding and killing trees around the spring... info from the internet web

At the moment, in the middle of May, spring is like autumn in Holland. This is to keep up the mood.

Ah, the first rhubarb of the year — it's been kept covered with a large pot, 'forcing' it, so it's grown beautifully pink and tender. So fresh and delicious and a real taste of Spring.

A small lesser-known waterfall somewhere tucked away in the Mt. Baker Wilderness within the North Cascades of Washington State. This was taken during one of my first waterfall outings this Spring right after a few days of steady rainfall. I was on a sort of mission to explore some areas that are rarely photographed. This was one that Ryan and I were lucky enough to shoot after a failed attempt searching for a different waterfall, only to find closed off access to the road heading in its direction. While this one isn't anything incredible or impressive by any means, I really enjoyed the pristine mossy surroundings and being able to take a dip up to my thighs in the cool water while photographing....it made for a nice overall experience.
I'm looking forward to getting back out again soon, as the greens are really popping out there right now in Washington and Oregon. Being able to explore the lush green forests during the Spring is one of the many reasons I love living in the Pacific Northwest.
spring has arrived! At last the sun is shining. I started to clearing the pond of a winters worth of stagnant leaves only to find the pond heaving with frogs and spawn. Abandoned the clearing and got my camera out instead!
The weather is trying hard to decide if it is time for the spring to come or the winter will stay for a hole year. Just after the astronomical spring, here in Bulgaria, started snowing. I love snow and winter, so my going out wasn't for debate. It was hard to see the blooming tree covered with ice and snow.

Inspired by the musical Spring Awakening
But now our bodies are the guilty ones
Who touch and color the hours
Night won't breathe
Oh how we fall in silence from the sky
And whisper some silver reply
(fun fact, cherry blossoms are my favorite flower. So, when I saw the tree in our backyard bloomed this week, I wanted to 'save' it in a picture :)
Today is Spring forward for daylight saving time. It reminded me this photo I had just taken yesterday. Spring is finally here.

Morrison Spring lies off the Choctowatchee River near the town of Ponce De Leon in Florida's Panhandle. It's sparkling water and cypress-lined setting make it a popular spring, as does its free access. Sporadic water quality issues keep it from becoming one of Florida's consistently ranked top springs. Those who experience it at its best will regularly rate in a favorite.
Hope you are having a good one today? While we are waiting for a tulip season here in Chicago, as a proper spring introduction, I will leave you with some prairie flowers! What do you think?
Cold Spring Creek flows at the base of the majestic Mt Hood in northern Oregon. Following this magical flow upstream leads to Tamanawas Falls and many a fallen rock. I recommend the hike.
Dear Spring,
Thank you so much for finally arriving.
I wish you bring blossoms and bowers
and birds and flowers to my garden.
