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.

Spring is here.

While the calendar may insist it’s still a few days away, these crocuses in the backyard beg to differ.

Stumbled across.

While on a regular walk/survey of my work site, I stumbled across this nest, possibly constructed by House Finches, with a single egg. It was tucked into an angle several feet off the ground where two pieces of structural steel met. I quickly left after taking this photo.

I yield to pedestrians.

Field of green.

Blustery day.

First cutting.

First cutting of asparagus, which actually occurred over a week ago. Second cutting happened today.

A fine day to bask in the sun.

This Snapping Turtle thought so, on one of the first genuinely warm days of the year.

Tolerated.

Lengthening daylight hours and somewhat warmer temperatures have brought waterfowl back to the spray field at my workplace. Nesting behaviour hasn’t quite yet begun.

This Mute Swan, which species can be quite aggressive, tolerated me being about ten meters away. I moved on after taking this photo.

Profusion.

A profusion of very cheery wildflowers.
