Blossom Season

It's that time of year again . . . a lot of things are blooming, and as always, they all look beautiful!  This first bunch is all from the 13th, so here we go!

Cherry blossoms:

Plum blossoms:

A leaf on the haskap berry bush, holding droplets of rainwater, and some blossoms from a nearby bush of the same kind:

Some pansies growing nearby, under the raspberry canes:

And a sparrow near the pond.  I'm pretty sure this is a Savannah sparrow.

On the 14th, we were about to leave to pick up our chicks, and I decided to snap a picture of the May tree, which was full of blossoms and shining in the sun.

And later when we got home: our day-old chicks and poults, along with three ducklings that my sister wanted to try raising:

Sunrays shining through the clouds later that evening, and then another shot of the young leaves seeming to glow in the sun.  And while I was mowing that evening, I got a very up-close look at the tiny new growths starting on the blue spruce tree.

From the 15th; the first tulip to open, and then later, a goose walked through our garden.  The way he was acting, he looked like he was lost and had absolutely no idea what to do.

And now asparagus season has started, so there will probably be some future updates (and maybe pictures) of that!  Enjoy your weekend!
