The robins returned 3 days ago. The reason I know this precisely is because of the berry tree in front of my house. All winter, I walked by this tree daily, marvelling at the maintenance of its fruit, enduring weeks of sub-zero temperature and heavy snowfall...yet holding on, heavily laden. I also wondered why none of the birds seemed interested.
My answer came when I suddenly witnessed several hundred robins arrive en masse and proceed to spend the next 48 hours devouring every single berry on the tree. It is now bare and ready to begin its new crop. And the robins have vanished.
Having lived a previous lifetime observing suburban robins grasping worms and other insects from manicured lawns, I was unaware that robins "flocked" or even ate berries to such a degree. It is interesting to note that these robins (as is the case with the local blue jays who also flock) seem somewhat smaller than those previously observed in different settings.
Unfortunately, my camera is not suitable for truly capturing this event. Yet I have tried to give a sense of it...including the snowstorm which arrived yesterday...but in no way deterred the robins from their gluttony.
Perhaps generations of robins have made this singular tree a first stop on their northern return. To everything there is a purpose, indeed...

Spotted this Kerria japonica "Pleniflora" in someones garden today.. but could not get as close as I would have liked..
Have a great day/evening.. thank very much for all your support..
As I looked out of my car window this afternoon...while waiting for my wife to finish work... there it was!
One single yellow flower growing wildly amongst the grass... This flower is about 2.5cm small...
Since I didn't have my camera with me... I had to pick it... and take it home so I could take photos of it...
It would've died in a matter of days... At least this way... I was able to preserve its beauty forever!
I hope you like it!
I also have a textured version of this shot but I liked it without texture too so I've posted both. For this version I cloned out some distracting elements and adjusted the light/color slightly.

Can make good things from ill things, best from worst,

Sol Duc Falls - Olympic National Park, Washington
This is a waterfall I've been lusting for since I first heard about it (I really should stop looking at awesome maps for places like the Olympic National Park). The angles are incredible. The water thunders down and smashes against the narrow far wall, causing a glorious mist to blast up toward the path. There really isn't a bad way to look at the falls. It's fabulous from the bridge, the rocks, the path, the top...
If you look closely, you can see an ant-sized Zeb standing on the far side rock. His pinhole is hiding behind the water blast.
Thanks to my fellow hikers for accompanying me for a birthday waterfall trek. You can't really put candles on a waterfall, but that would definitely be my choice of cake.
