We took a little drive out to Reinstein today. It was such a beautiful spring day that I felt my day would have been incomplete if I wasted it indoors. We arrived about 30-40 minutes before sunset so didn't have much time to walk around.
We saw several amazing things in that short amount of time, though! I was chased by a father goose because I was getting too close to his lady goose's nest, which I was completely unaware of. We saw several goose fights, and two new duck species. One lone duck was a female Bufflehead and the others were a group of Lesser Scaups.
And then we saw a bunch of beavers swimming around - the most I've ever seen :)
Looking forward to going again soon!

Con muchas ganas de primavera. A ver si se acaba de decidir....

the very first little buds appear almost shy from this camera angle, as they gingerly peer out from their recently torn protective sheath - they remind me of little elvers wriggling free !
Ben the City Pup has a clear case of Spring Fever. He came outside to enjoy the flowers, and began nodding off right away!

Spring fever is beginning to rear its head with the sighting of robins in the neighborhood despite the frigid temps of recent days.

Forgive me, I couldn't help myself. I know that Flickr is currently flooded with approximately 25 million shots of pear blossoms and other blossoming wonders. It really doesn't need my 16 shots added to that, I'm sure, and mine are, overall, probably about of average quality. But I couldn't help myself!
We're finally having some lovely weather. The bigger, older, wiser trees, bred in this climate, are still mostly naked. They know how treacherous Missouri weather can be in April! But the Pear Trees, and the Forsythia and other blossoming things, have sprung into joyous, optimistic bloom, and they're SO lovely and we're SO hungry for them!
Every year, when they bloom, we all hold our collective breath and pray that we don't get a hard frost that will kill them. We came close a night or two but they all seem to have survived beautifully, and we're hoping maybe we're out of danger now.
Anyway, yesterday I went on a walk around the neighborhood with the camera, and here were all these lovely blossoming Pear Trees, Forsythia, etc. So I couldn't help myself, here are my 16 offerings, culled from the insane number of pictures I took. Blame it on SPRING FEVER!!!
