Despite some more frosty temperatures,
the backyard has truly started to transform, and one of my favorite things in spring is when the fruit trees and the Serviceberry begin to bloom. The latter is a little early this year, it usually starts in May. Yesterday was beautifully sunny, a perfect occasion for happy spring portraits. The Hummingbirds, Orioles and Grosbeaks should start arriving soon as well, and milder weather is on the horizon. Finally!
As we wait for the summer guests to arrive,
these guys, the Redwinged Blackbirds, are filling the air with their song and show off their gorgeous colors. The females have arrived now too, but they are still camera shy. Hopefully that changes, because they are quite beautiful too.
