Signs of Spring

Trillium on the floor of the forest means spring has arrived.  Oh how we welcome such a sight because we know there is lots of color to follow.  

Reaching for the Sky

Steeples and towers always grab my attention.  They are designed to be seen and call attention to something important.  This one comes from Door County Wisconsin

Nature Lover

St. Francis an advocate to love, enjoy and protect all of God's creation.  This statue was given as a gift  from another nature lover. 

Permission Granted?

This Canadian Goose looked at me as if to say, "Did I give you permission to take this picture?"

Mini Waterfalls

As the snow melts these streams take one life as the water always seeks a lower elevation.  The movement of  the water provides music to the ears and beauty to the eyes.  This one is Lowes Creek just south of Eau Claire.

Finally Returned

I have been waiting for these red wing blackbirds to return. They are a sure sign that spring has arrived.  The male specie are the the ones that make the noise,  usually protecting the nest where the female is hatching the eggs.

Posing Proudly

"Yes, we will pose for you.  Be sure you get this posted somewhere where others will enjoy seeing it."
