After a Very Long Winter

There is something so incredibly refreshing about spring. It is almost as if the world around us is waking up again after a very long winter.

I have a thing about the natural beauty of wildflowers. Even with all their little imperfections, they never fail to take my breath away.

I was so caught up watching this hawk, that I almost forgot to take his picture. He seemed a bit mad at me for interrupting his hunting.

Squirrels have a way of capturing my attention for long periods of time. They are so dang cute that you can’t help but smile at their antics.

Oh! I almost forgot! He mentioned that if I intended to talk about him on my blog today, that I should make it clear that he is a boy squirrel.
But, you knew that already, didn’t you?

LOL at the squirrel. He’s so cute.
Great pics as always Cricket!
Maybe I’ll get some on the weekend at the golf course.

Beautiful flower. Handsome fellow. We have lots of squirrels and birds in our backyard and the spring flowers are bursting out. After a couple of days of rain the atmosphere here is bright and clean. Thanks for sharing. Spring is here! ~pat~
