Spring is getting here s-l-o-w-l-y............

Love the spring.  Here is a peek at what's in our yard!

The Clematis blossoms are cascading off our fence...but you can still see the snow on the mountaintops!

There are soooo many blossoms!!!
Apple blossoms.  We have a "apple hedge" that grows 4 different types of apples!
A dead honeybee hangs from a spider's web.  Notice the spider blends into the blossom!
Then there is the Evergreen Clematis that grows around our house.....
The bleeding hearts have been out for a month now!




And in the local park nearby....

Little  families are coming out!


Canada geese and their babies!
...and at least a dozen of these big boys sitting on the log sunning themselves. (western painted turtle)



Nothing more beautiful than nature!

Mom Feeding the Eaglet - Video


You can see the newer baby eaglet flopping around.  It doesn't have as much muscle tone and control as the older one.

The parent is feeding the older eaglet.

You can hear my husband making commentary in the background.  I was trying to get him to be quiet for the video, because you can actually hear the chirping of the babies.

I just recorded this within the last 15 minutes.

Sorry Phiddy, that you missed this!  This all occurred 1/2 hour after you left your comment! :(

Canuck Fever at an all time High. Will you catch it?

As you can see from this video on YouTube.... hockey is taking over the town.   The video starts out with the real live birth of the Canuck's mascot.....and goes downhill from there......

But - you have to laugh.

A parody of Ce-Lo's "Forget you" song.......(or some like his other version!)

My husband points out that the Canuck Hockey team has the same colors as his Seahawks team.....blue/white/green.......

AND - I can't believe it. 

It's APRIL, Mother Nature!!! It's NOT supposed to snow!!!  What the heck??? The beautiful pink blossoms are all out and we're getting SNOW?????  This isn't Ontario, you know!!!!

Couldn't you have done this LAST week when we were -  say -  in Palm Springs??????

Super Moon

Finally made it's appearance.

You can read all about it HERE.

Nature.

My husband and I created a little spectacle of our own when we crawled out one of our upper storey windows and sat on the roof to take photos.


My photo from tonite
 You can't beat nature for the entertainment it constantly provides.


I wondered what the bright lights were on the moon.
This NASA photo may explain them:
