It's been sunny and warm, and the Pasqueflowers have opened their petals wide to soak up the sun and attract pollinators.
Willow bushes have gotten their tiny flowers clustered together into catkins. These gems are among my absolute favorites!
I love watching spring unfold, one miracle at at time. The flowers are among the miracles but the arrival of migratory birds is another. I love watching the bird species arrive one-by-one. One of my favorites is the hummingbird. Ours are back!
happy springtime... enjoy an ocean of flowers ;O)

The world awakens. Always a treat. I love the shot of the catkin.
ReplyDeletei did not know the willow bushes had these flowers. so pretty. almost as pretty as Shyla... yay for your birds coming home to roost
ReplyDeleteThe hummingbird reminds me of my gramma's super old metal, bird, Christmas ornaments. Great shot!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful flowers. I too like the willow bush. I don't think we have them here.
ReplyDeleteWhat type of hummers to you have. I'm an avid hummingbird lover. We only have Ruby Throated but the little jewels return each year mid April to my feeders and stay through Mid September
Hugs madi and mom
I love hummingbirds too!!!! Our main hummingbird is the Broad-tailed, which actually looks a lot like the Ruby Throated. They are here from late April until early September. We also get Rufous hummingbirds in July as they migrate from Alaska (where they breed) back to someplace far south of us.
DeleteHow pretty the willow bush flowers are! Beautiful flowers, KB!
ReplyDeleteWow, super focus on every one, the willow catkins are amazing.
