Enjoying Spring

Some more of my pictures from the Quarry Hill Nature Center here in Rochester, MN.

This first one didn't strike me the same way when I saw the picture. When I looked at it on my screen I called it "Snow Tree." The way the blossoms seem to build up like a snow bank caught my attention.



Birds, of course, are always fun to look for. These three are part of the regular population at the center. Nothing unusual or unique about them. But they can be photogenic- goldfinch, grosbeak, and woodpecker. The wonders of the world!

(Note: Clicking on the pictures will take you to the Flickr page where you can navigate
to a larger version- and the individual cropped pictures of the birds.)
