One thing I like about spring and summer,
is the return of
GREEN!:
Even the pine trees look fresh and new.
And the birds begin having their young.
This Mourning Dove is fluffy.
Maybe she is pregnant?:
And the damselflies
come out again!:
Along with ducks.
Here is a Common Merganser and his mate:
And the dandelions come up, bright and yellow.
Which brings: BUTTERFLIES!:
When the Trilliums bloom, they are a brilliant white.
As they get ready to die,
they turn a pinkish purple:
And even though a few posts back, I showed some bees on my apple blossoms,
I have to show at least
one more:
A handsome
brown-headed cowbird!:
Thanks for re-visiting Spring with me,
even though it is summer now...
I don't mind going back in time, how about you?

How beautiful!!!!
They are all great photos, but the bee is expecially amazing!
Great photos of nature, beautiful at any time of the year.
Great pictures!
I Looove pine trees - you captured the softness of the pine needles wonderfully. Loved the other photos too! HOpe you had a wonderful 4th!
I'd like to go back and enjoy Spring some more... One reason is that our Summer so far has been the hottest and most humid and driest I can remember since we moved here in 2003...
You mentioned things turning GREEN there. Well---everything here is turning BROWN. Things are dry and thirsty. Even our Rhododendron leaves are turning yellow... Gads!!!!!
George got out early this morning and watered the year/flowers/plants, etc. It was already hot at 6:30 a.m. GADS!!!!
NOW--I either want to go back to Spring--or move on to Fall....
Hugs,
Betsy
I don't mind going back in time at all!
That's one funky looking bee with an orange stripe! I think Doves are always in the family way. LOL!
ooo...cool shots...esp the dragonfly (my favs) and the mourning dove!
great pics Joan. It feels like spring here because it's raining! Yep, July in southern California, and it's raining...amazing
Spring green is one of my favorite colors!
I never mind looking bak as long as I keep moving forward :-)
Cheers, jj
I love revisiting Spring, it is a beautiful time of the year. Speaking of revisiting, I love the bee on the apple blossoms. You can show me that one anytime.
Great shots. I do think I like the
pine needles most of all.. very
creative capture.. why didn't I think of that ...?
I saw a butterfly, a few days ago, for the first time this year. I was confused as to what it was, at first, because it's been soooo long since I've seen one. lol!
Re. the Mourning Dove. She looks greedy to me.
Lovely pictures.
Stunning photography! Lezlee
My fav is the pine tree limb
