I thought we should advantage of our sunny morning and head to Arcata Marsh to celebrate
Nature Friday this week! If we look close we can see peeks of Spring in between all the
rainy, chilly days!
Here is a shot of blue skies!! We haven't seen too many days like this, so it must mean Spring is coming....right?
Look over there!!!
These yellow flowers are starting to make an appearance!!
The asters are blooming brightly, too!!
The flowers would come out unless Spring wasn't far behind, would they??
Oh my dog, look at this!
An egret, a sure sign of...
Oh wait, Mama says they are around all year at the marsh. He still looks warm tho!
Warmer temperatures mean Spring, right??
Oooooooo, a Great Heron looking for breakfast in the warm, ok, maybe chilly water.
Here is another Great Heron, he sure is strutting his stuff! He's probably looking for a girlfriend.
That's a sign of Spring for sure, right Mama?!
Truthfully, it might have been in the 40s when we took our walk, but I bet Spring will be here in no time!
In the meantime, I have my furs to keep me warm!
Show
us your nature! It can be a
picture of your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a
picture from a walk! Any kind of nature picture will do(does not have
to include a pet)!
oooh sunny mornings and a wonderful blue sky... how we miss that... but soon we will have such mornings and the nature comes back to life...
ReplyDeleteGreat photos today - we love the heron and its reflection. Gail and I keep telling ourselves that Spring is on the way in Scotland too, but I am still glad of my furs.
ReplyDeleteToodle pip!

Spring really is on it's way, Rosy! What beautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a really pretty and relaxing place to go. We are hoping for a few more weeks of winter now that we have about 2 ft of snow. It's so much fun!
ReplyDeleteYou sure got to see lots of pretty things sweet Rosy!
ReplyDeletewhen birds look for girls that is a true sign of spring... the birds here are singing and singing and looking for girls... woo hoooo
ReplyDeleteWell we went way back to October to fetch our flowers for this week, but we have tons of things blooming in the yard so we think Springs is on the way.

Spring is here in Texas -- it's supposed to be 77 today! Come and visit and you'll be warm.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. Spring is sort of here too, but it's cold. The blossoms are pretty though.
ReplyDeleteHave a woof woof day and weekend. My best to your peeps. ♥
That Great Heron with its reflection is incredible!!!! And flowers... imagine that, FLOWERS! Yes, spring must be coming :) Thanks, Rosie. I love seeing your nature.
ReplyDeleteDear Niece Rosy What a beautiful day for taking Mama on a walk. OMH(erons) you need to frame that photo of Mr.Heron with his reflection. It is gorgeous
ReplyDeleteHugs Aunty HiC
Thank you for taking on that beautiful walk with you, I think you are right, spring is coming soon!
ReplyDeleteOur mom is super-ready for Spring! --- and to see Egrets again! We're in the below zeroes for wind chill right now and are being pummeled with snow. How can she not like that?!?!
ReplyDeleteYours sincerely,
Margaret Thatcher
WOW - that is such a great photo of the egret with the reflection!!! No sign of Spring here today. Like the Ao4 we got lots of snow and bitter cold!!!
ReplyDeleteWoos - Lightning, Misty, and Timber
We sure hope you are right Rosy. We got snow thunder today and more snow of course
ReplyDeletehugs

Your pictures sure look like spring to us. We are still covered in snow and will be for a while.
ReplyDeletePlease send us some spring.
ReplyDeleteWell, it looks a lot more like spring there than it does here, that's for sure! :) Those are all wonderful signs of spring, Rosy, and we think it will be there in no time!

You are lucky to have joined a family living in a warmer place than here! If you stayed here you'd be freezing in the snow. You did a great job as a tour guide through the march. We are proud of you. See you in a couple months!
ReplyDeleteYour Uncles,
Murphy & Stanley
We are sure the Herron looking for a mate is a sure sign of springs, Rosy. Lucy and Xena
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool place to visit. Love the clouds over the marsh!
ReplyDeleteI think I will have to enjoy the good weather this week and go out and see if I can find some nature. Go for a bike ride and take a camera. Pretty soon I will be back at work being busy.
ReplyDeleteLove the yellow flower by the way. Very spring!
