What a surprise when this Spicebush Swallowtail butterfly flew right in front of me and landed in a sunny spot just a few feet from where I was walking.
It sat for a few minutes basking in the sun and long enough for me to grab a few shots before it took off. The surprise is that it was the first weekend of spring and even though the days were warming up the nights were still chilly.
Seen at a nearby arboretum on a nice sunny day.
Spring couldn't be more glorious right now, and I'm freaking furious, because apart from isolating myself I'll have to cancel my holiday in Scotland that I've been looking forward to for months. It's clearly first world problems, but if I think about all the ferries, trains, the plane, the rental car, the ten hotels and everything that I had meticulously planned to make the most of my road trip... I think I should get a punching bag for the next few months :-((
(And against better knowledge I keep hoping that we might finally learn something that SARS, MERS, bird flu, BSE, etc obviously failed to teach... eating animals and keeping animals for consumption is something that must be treated with caution. It's not a popular opinion I know, and it's easier to entertain the thought as a vegetarian... but it's high time we stop eating huge amounts of practically every being that's edible, for various reasons. Sorry about the rant - I guess I'm currently on the second of the five steps leading to acceptance: anger. It's normal apparently. Yay.)
Tall and mighty as these trees are in springtime mode, bursting into the light to gain all the energy they can absorb.
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.

My daffodils are now in full bloom and there's no chance winter is coming back at all, much as I may wish it! I have no problems with Spring. I love Spring. But here in Virginia it only lasts about 30 seconds and then it's on to heat and humidity! LOL Have a wonderful day everyone, Anita and I are off in search of some adventure. :)
Once again, one of my favorite places. A small bridge over a lily pond in a castle park, in springtime!

Not getting out much due to my broken knee but as it was Sunday I played with a couple of photos taken this week. One in my garden and the birds belong to a neighbour - HSS"!

Dedicata a quella pirlona di Alessia perché io e lei non faremo mai una foto simile!

Un altro Inverno, ormai, volge al termine e l'anima inizia a sentire il dolce profumo della Primavera!
Primavera è rinascita, è gioia è voglia di condivisione!
Insieme ad un gruppo di simpatici scalmanati, abbiamo deciso di iniziare la Primavera nel migliore dei modi e il migliore dei modi è un raduno fotografico in cui confrontarsi, scattare e ridere, soprattutto ridere!
La Città che è stata scelta per l'occasione è stata Torino!
L'appuntamento è fissato per il 22 Marzo (Praticamente il primo giorno di Primavera) alle 09:30 al Binario 1 della Stazione di Porta Nuova!
Avremmo potuto vederci all'alba ma non volevamo che Alberto Gugliel8 fosse costretto ad una levataccia!
Vi aspetto/aspettiamo numerosi!
Per qualsiasi informazione e per aderire alla giornata non esitate a contattarmi!

BNSF’s Denver to Provo manifest freight slogs through a springtime snowstorm approaching Blue Mountain Drive grade crossing west of Clay, Colorado, on March 29, 2007.
With a lengthy sand train in tow, this eastbound Union Pacific train approaches the west end of Rock siding near Sugar Island on UP's Adams Subdivision. The springtime melt has taken place, causing the Rock River to reach well over it's banks again and afford a decent reflection from the surface of it's muddy waters. My scanner batteries went dead waiting, so I was unable to hear the train ID.
