Some Folks Call this Bird......

A Dirty Old Buzzard

 

 

However, this Turkey Vulture got caught in

a sudden rain shower,

and decided it was time

to clean itself up.

 

I was amazed at all the contortions

this bird made while

it was primping and preening.

 

 

You have to get those tail feathers

just right!!

Little Signs of Spring - On the Wild Side

This week you could almost see things growing.

Little by little, signs of Spring are popping up.

 

 

Taking a walk through our woods,

this is what I saw.

 

 

Spring Beauties (at least that is what we called them),

were peaking through the leaves.

 



Dutchman's Breeches with their fern-like leaves

are also enjoying the sunshine.

 

 

Up in the sky the Turkey Buzzards

are playing in the wind currents.

 

 

In the valley, the Wood Ducks

are making ripples in the sparkling water.

 

And on the top of some of the hillsides,

Dogtooth Violets are blooming.

 

 

SPRING -- What a refreshing time of year!

Thank you, God.
