spring is in the air

the calendar says spring doesn't start until tomorrow, but these flowers tell me spring has already sprung.

{52 snapshots of life} #spring

spring is a season of new beginnings and new life. it can be seen all around us. from the new pop of color in the garden ...

to the unseen miracle of life. what looks like just a mound of twigs is actually an intricately built mockingbird nest in my orange tree. i've been watching mr & mrs mockingbird come and go for several days now, bringing all sorts of building materials in their beaks. the other day when they were both away, i peeked into the tree and found their nest! they are still in the process of building it so there aren't any eggs yet, but i'm sure it's only a matter of days.

mr mockingbird can be heard at all hours of the day, singing his songs of spring.




{52 snapshots of life} is a weekly themed photo challenge hosted by
the lazy pitbull.

spring has sprung

she who plants a garden, plants happiness.

my plum tree is full of blossoms, my orange tree is full of oranges and even my lemon tree has produced it's first fruit.
birds are singing, bees are buzzing and lizards are running everywhere.
the garden has come back to life and it's a beautiful thing.

take time to stop and smell the flowers

notice how delicately my little bailey sniffs the flowers...

now notice how my grand-doggie, aoife, sniffs the flowers. BOL

a couple of days ago this beautiful american painted lady came to feast on the orange tree in my backyard.  it took me several attempts to photograph this beauty, but my persistence paid off in the end.  be sure to click the pictures to enlarge them.
