this little fellow was causing quite a commotion among the flamingos at a local park, spring fever no doubt!
we often come across them on our golf estates, they're quite skittish and duck into the bush before you can get close to them.

thanks for visiting, much appreciated :)
For pca60 – Topic: "Spring"
WIT: My idea for this assignment was to try to capture the restless energy that spring instills. But just when spring arrived on the calendar it started snowing here. A lot. So I set up inside, camera on a book. Done with winter, tapping my feet, doing a little dance, wanting spring.

Yes...I missed a week. No...I don't really care. I haven't hardly been online at all. Just kinda muddling through my days. The added noise in this photo is so very much what my head feels like. Can't tell if I'm coming or going. So overwhelmed by life in general that I just take every moment for what it is right now. Today was beautiful. Definitely needed to get out of the house. Went for a long long walk down at the river. The sand I'm playing in will be covered by water as soon as the snow on the mountains melts. It was so nice to be out there...
This is week 9 of 52.
In the 52 weeks challenge, every one of my 52 photos will be taken by one of my kids. Either Mancub (16) or Little Boy (7). They get full reign of my camera (eeeeek) and do what they wish. All I do is pick the pic, edit and post it.
It was one of the few quiet, still days we get in St.John's. Set off longings for spring or some such. Deadman's Pond, St.John's, NL.
Flowering Dogwood at Davey Dogwood Park.
It is the state tree of Virginia and state flower of North Carolina. It is a common ornamental landscape tree that offers something nice throughout the year. The tree provides showy white flowers in spring, rich green foliage in summer, bright red leaves in fall and red berries relished by birds and animals all winter..
The white petals of the dogwood flower are actually leaf-like growths called bracts rather than true petals. The actual flowers are in the cluster at the center of the dogwood bloom. The showy bracts can attract pollinating insects to the flowers. .

I have searched for the name of this particular butterfly for quite some time.
I shot this in the Butterfly house in Callaway Gardens. So it is no doubt an exotic. Whatever it's name, I found it truely beautiful. It reminds of a summer day, and the greens that abound that time of year. Everything is brown and barren. I am longing for the greens to return. HBW everyone!!

Quote by Mark Twain
HPPT - Spring!
It's been coming and going and coming and going. Warm, cold, warm, cold. Sunny, rainy, cloudy, sunny. It's even supposed to snow today. I hate the Spring transition! But I looooove Spring!! It's my favorite! <3
I run like an idiot.
Fave if you like it!
... It’s spring fever… That is what the name of it is… And when you’ve got it… you want… ohhhhhh… you don’t quite know what it is you do want… but it just fairly makes your heart ache… you want it so…. ~ Mark Twain ~ .... (Try this one enlarged...)
Woke up to about 5 centimeters (two inches) of snow, argh! Our poor flowers are so confused, they don't know what to do. I feel sorry for the rufous hummingbirds that have migrated from Mexico and started arriving this past week. I'm pretty sure a snowfall in April is a record for us here on the west coast of British Columbia. I guess this is Mother Nature's April Fool's joke...not funny!
I think these are plum tree blossoms...does anybody know?
This is Moxie. She is a four year old rescue - originally part of a criminal case out of Southern Oregon, and saved by the Oregon Humane Society. Her mange left her pretty nude - and she was believed to be a Brussels Griffon mix. Once her hair grew back, and we got her groomed, we suspected otherwise and got a doggie DNA test. She's 100% Shih Tzu and I can't stop laughing that I now have a silly designer dog. She's delightful. She's not the best model yet, but she was SO good - walked beautifully on her leash, no barking, no fear, just a good muppet.
