Spring

There is some disquiet that the dogwoods were past full bloom on April 15 and now the roses preceded Mothers' Day by a few days.  It seems only I and the birds have made note as they also have fledged a few days early.

But, over all, a good spring. The lake is full and the roadside fences bowers of honeysuckle, blackberry and country roses. The Kudzu a victim of hard winter freeze is late in its annual assault on the beauty of diverse vegetation.

The new grass is taking hold and is  green as ... well, grass; and no intrusive medical things in the immediate future. I have had great joy in planting my patio garden myself this year.

A new joy is the under eaves of my shed has been chosen by a family of Phoebes.  Small gray birds blending in with the titmice and chickadees they first missed my attention.  The territorial behavior of the male every time I go to the car however could not be missed and then I found the nest.

I am getting to know my point and shoot camera a little better now. I hope these images can be enjoyed. The river shots are of the Chattahoochee just below Helen.
