Pollen-dusted from earlier harvesting, a bee works one of the Purple Coneflowers in our flower patch.

In bloom.
Faye was walking home from the post office when she saw this tulip tree blooming, and said I needed to bring the camera. So I did.
We have never seen tulip tree flowers up close. They are native to southwest Ontario, though a little uncommon. We are fortunate to have two (much smaller) tulip trees in our yard and hope to be around long enough to see the older one flower.
Handsome.
I captured this handsome Rose-breasted Grosbeak perched on the roof of the window bird feeder. The small squares are fixed to the window and act as a visual reference/barrier, preventing birds from flying into the window and being injured by the impact. Since affixing the squares two years ago, the only impacts have been low-speed and non-injury causing.
Height of bloom.
We recently strolled in the bush at Wawanosh Lake and found the trilliums are at the height of bloom.
Favourite.
Johnny Jump-ups are perhaps my favourite spring flower.
Early one morning.
I was out early one morning this week and made a point to stop for this marvellous sight of the full moon above this barn.
Most astounding.
Today was Fayes’ last day of work; her new phase of life begins!
One of her co-workers created, produced, and gave her this most astounding quilt. Faye was awestruck that someone would do this.
Criss-crossed.
Morning sky ablaze and criss-crossed.
Favourite.
The Forget-me-not is one of my favourite flowers. Our yard has several clumps which reseed every year and have for years.
Down on its level.
It is spring and the garden is abloom, including the trilliums. I got down on its level to photograph the Red Trillium.
