Spring has finally sprung...

It's been a long wait but we are finally having some beautiful weather. It was 18 Celsius / 64 Fahrenheit today and so I grabbed my camera and went out for a long 2 1/2 hour walk around a lake today. I should have left my jacket at home it was pretty hot by the time I was leaving.

I saw about 10 Canadian Geese, a bunch of ducks, a few robins, 1 red winged black bird, and 1 Downy Woodpecker which I was thrilled to see as I haven't seen the Downy variety before, I usually see the Northern Flickers - this little guy was so sweet.

  1. Great shots, Pam =) Thanks for stopping by to comment on my parrot painting. Yes, I know you have little Jessie. He's a beautiful sun conure! When I first joined ACETSY, I saw a pic of him in a Santa hat and just fell in love!! Kathryn
