A profound feeling of change, newness, excitement, expectation and sights of amazing beauty and colour as nature begins its seasonal awakening.

Russian olive.

This tree is gloriously stunning this year. In fact, I think a few days under water must've restored everything because this is the most beautiful (and pollen/allergy heavy) springtime that I can remember in a long time.

Winterling (Winter Aconite)

The Red Kites have started their springtime courtship with fabulous aerial displays.

I love it best when the pair tumble from the sky with their feet entwined then separate to pull out of the dive at the last minute.

Rebirth from Nirvana

I found this scene in rural Frederick County, Maryland, roughly between the charming Maryland towns of Burkittsville and Brunswick, a small railroad town sited alongside the Potomac River.

With the aid and the signals from a few warmer than normal days in mid-March, and longer days as well, the landscape here has begun to transition from winter's browns and greys to springtime's subtle color changeover.

Gracias a todos los que siempre escriben! estoy un poco copado pero prometo volver pronto con nuevos trabajos. Gracias por sus mensajes!

Thanks to everyone who always write! I'm a bit cornered but I promise to return soon with new work. Thank you for your messages!

Good morning everyone. Just a simple collage of some random photos taken this Spring while out & about. Starting in the upper row on the left is Woodland Phlox (Phlox divaricata) one of the first woodland flowers to bloom each Spring, followed by tree bark of a River Birch (Betula nigra) then a Six-Spotted Tiger Beetle (Cicindela sexguttata).

Second row from left to right is a Wild Indigo Duskywing (Erynnis baptisiae), my first of the year of a returning Chipping Sparrow (Spizella passerina) and last but not least, an American Bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana), which was quite large...a good 6 inches (15 cm) in length.

As for the above photos, I also posted them individually in the comment section and my stream for better viewing, and in the later you'll also find some text describing each.

As always, don't forget to click on "view previous comments" if you don't see the additional photos in the comment section. Even better, scroll to them by clicking on the arrow thingy to the right of the above pic. And if you want to view any picture in the comment section large all you have to do is click on it.

Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you have a truly great first week of May.
