Our World Tuesday and Nature Notes: Happy Easter Happy Spring

The photographs in this post were taken from last Sunday to this Saturday.



I'm going to set this up to auto post on Sunday because I will be focusing on feasting that day.



As it is I'm early for both Our World and Nature Notes as usual but I find it easier to prepare these posts over the weekend.



The first seven shots in this post are from last Sunday.



Bill and I went to Lake Jordan in part to see if we could spot the bald eagles.



No luck with eagle spotting but it was a nice drive as well as walk.



It was a beautiful day but quite chilly. 



The next batch of shots are from a lunchtime walk this week.



It was a perfect day to take a break and get outside.



There are a lot of spring flowers in bloom.



Everyday something changes, a tree start with tiny leaves or flowers, a new bird call is heard . . .



I love changing seasons.



I wouldn't want to live somewhere that didn't have 4 seasons.



Sometimes our seasons get mixed up but there are always changes which I like.



The rest of the shots are from a neighborhood walk this Saturday.



Sometimes I wonder what people in my neighborhood think if they see my camera pointing at their house.



Actually a lot of my neigbors know what to think because we've discussed that I like to photograph birds and flowers, etc.



I try to be careful not to photograph people unawares.



I like how there are still some naked trees as well as ones clothed in flowers and new leaves.



I like spotting flowers in the winter browns.



This post is getting long but it's hard to narrow down the shots I want to use.



The dogwoods are starting to bloom, both pink and white ones.



The next shot shows how we are in a changing season phase.
