The weather has finally warmed up and jackets have been put away. Spring brings a new fervor in life. I love trying my hand at creating something new that I hadn't done before. This time it was my favorite paisley pattern that took shape using previously collected pistachio shells.
Spring also sends me into the garden equipped with a lot of enthusiasm. This year, I stumbled upon Calla Lily bulbs that I decided to try planting. Keeping my fingers crossed, I tended to them hoping to get a few good blooms. They did not disappoint. I have six planters that are blooming with the exotic lilies this spring.
As the trees got their foliage back, and it was lush green everywhere, birds began to appear. I've been fascinated by my avian friends for quite a few years and have tried to capture them using whatever camera I have had at my disposal. As better cameras flooded the market, it is getting easier for everyone to try their hand at bird photography. This isn't necessarily birding. Birding requires a lot more than just a good camera and luck at capturing a good picture. The time spent in observing these industrious creatures is the most rewarding. Unfortunately, I am not able to devote as much to this hobby as I would like to. However, the next few posts are going to include some pictures I've taken that are my favorites.
Here is one of an American Robin that I noticed in my yard for the first time.
More birds and other stories coming up next. Until then..... adios!
