During a cleanup session, Sylvia and I noticed that the crocus was more open. I grabbed this shot and then went back to trimming branches and picking up sticks. Heavy spring winds have brought down a lot of smaller branches.
About a week ago, in the evening dusk, I saw eight deer in the small field beyond the lawn. (The neighbor uses this area for a hay field. I don’t have to mow, and he gets feed for his cattle.) Those deer were enjoying spring. The young ones would run as fast as the wind and turn quickly and do it some more. Soon they disappeared into the thicket and disappeared from sight.
Last Thursday, Sylvia was at the wheel as we exited the expressway at 36th St in Kentwood. As we approached Kraft, I looked and on the slope beside this busy street (five lanes) I saw a number of large lumps. It took a moment for me to realize it was a group of wild turkeys. They had their heads tucked under their wings to protect them from the wind-driven near-freezing rain.
I remember getting so excited to see turkeys and deer…every single time. It never got old. 🙂 Here to wish you and your lovely Mrs. a Happy Easter. :awe:
Thanks, Rosey. We had a very Happy Easter, hope you did too.
Every day is a new day, though the deer, the turkeys are the same.
And so I am.
:yea:
Are we not renewed each day?
I know what you mean …..I’ve lived in the “country” all but 7 years of my life !!
There are some advantages to living in the city. At least that what our children say. I prefer this place.
WOW! I love the view in your ‘hood. Mine has sights too…but none as cool as that. Although, if you stop and look closely…there are cool things mixed in amongst the traffic, concrete and weirdos. lucky me!
It’s sights like that was one of the reasons we chose this neighborhood.
