Birds and Blooms

There is a magazine called Birds and Blooms, and I thought it an appropriate title for this post. I think you'll know why when you are done looking at it!
During Carrie's violin lesson, I enjoyed taking pictures of these blossoms

and of this woodpecker that showed up! We hardly ever see woodpeckers, so I was delighted!

More birds in the top of the same tree the woodpecker was in.

We are enjoying these chicks!

There are a lot of this kind of tree in town.

This was at a place where we went to get a flat tire replaced.

I love the birds around here. This is a bluebird.

 The meadowlark song is one of my favorite bird songs. We hear them a lot around here, but can't always see them. I was really happy to get this shot.

In the middle of this picture is a horned lark. It was right on the trail a little ways in front of me.

Some daffodil pictures. The second one is at the church, but the rest are ours.
