Spring … sproing… sprung!

I love the first crocus I see in our yard. When I took this photo yesterday, this was the only one; now it’s surrounded by a few dozen more.

Project365: 49

This isn’t really my 49th picture, I’m afraid. I am trying, but haven’t nearly accomplished a photo a day. Perhaps publication will help me keep it up.

I'm not very good at sewing, but I kind of like how the imperfections are visible along the seam.

A nature story.

Or, two photo essays depicting a wonderful day for two Richmond Hill squirrels.

Here, a black squirrel makes a delicious discovery.

Something prompts the black squirrel to look up from his delicious almond.

"Oh my!" says he, as his ears perk up.

"Is the coast clear?"

Indeed, the coast is clear! "I can't wait! What luck!"

"You realize that this is mine? All mine."

He sidles carefully over to the unexpected feast, afraid it will vanish as quickly as it appeared.

Sounds of nomming.

Defeated by its size, the black squirrel attempts to drag it away...

But woe for the black squirrel, no longer alone!

Munchy munch. "These seeds are boring," thinks the gray squirrel.

"What are those sounds of nomming I hear?"

"I must join in this nomming!"

The gray squirrel finds the unexpected feast.

"Amazing!"

"Mine! All mine!" The gray squirrel thinks, as he attempts to drag it away.
