You know it's Spring when....


A Sparrow takes a bath
and glares at you for watching!


The first Rose blooms


Gleditsia loves the morning sun


A Cockatoo has slept in a pine tree!


The Smokebush flares up


Azalea too


You find a Wren's nest


Mr and Mrs Wren


Lilac buds pop open
and fill the air with perfume


An inquisitive Kingfisher drops by


It's a rare visit;
we had to be quick with the camera


The pretty Crabapple


The Satin Bowerbird comes by
looking for colour for the nest.
Look at that blue, beady eye!


She's fascinated by those yellow balls!


On tippy-toes


Darn, I'll fly up!

♪♪ "It might as well be Spring!" ♪♪

Another five weeks of
splendour in the grass, garden, trees and sky!

Oh Thank you... I love seeing this...

I'll trade you some of my gray, cool, windy days of ever-deepening fall, anytime for your glorious Spring...

Loved the photos of the glaring Sparrow, the inquisitive Bowerbird and all the beauties of Spring.

Thanks for the reminder of what I have to look forward to...FIVE MONTHS FROM NOW! :)

Such beautiful photos. We're going into fall here and all the leaves are turning bright colors. I think spring is a favorite time for me. Everything blooming out, coming alive again. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Aww...everything is SO beautiful! Spring is a wonderful season. I'd love to have cockatoos in the back yard!

Mason...I also love Spring because I can throw open windows for the breezes and perfumes!

Betsy...the Cockatoos are a joy; very funny birds with their antics!

These pics made my day. The little sparrow glaring after its bath, LOL!

Alaine, your bird shots are amazing. The blue of her eyes and the yellow of the lemons are a spectacular contrast!
