Scraped ice off the windshield this morning. That is not indicative of a nice, long, lasting spring. Is this going to be one of those years of winter-right-int-summer? That would be too bad because spring is one of the finest times of the year. It is nice to do a little work out in the yard without sweating it. It is nice to be able to comfortably walk the dog without his tongue dragging on the ground.
Anyhow, we can hear the spring peepers at night now, and the birds are making more of a racket outside, which is nice. And the buzzards have been around for a month or so. Not sure when their time-share up in the neighbor's pines expires.
I have taken only a handful of photos since February. The weather has been...uninspiring, and the opportunities and free time very limited. But here is what I've got from the past couple of weeks.
I am hoping that with a little sunlight and heat, things will start popping around here, the wildlife will become a little more activated, and we will have something to see. I can feel it getting closer...

You're getting artsy.
Nice pictures, Ben. :-)
Spring is sure taking her sweet time to arrive this year, isn't she. It's edging in slowly and sideways instead of jumping in full force with both feet!
What are all those bumps on that tree? I've never seen a tree look like that before.
Hope you have a nice weekend!
Great photos Ben. We had very warm temps early this Spring but now it is cooler and we've had lots of heavy wind and rain. Hope you enjoy the weekend.
That tree has the mumps! Nice pics. Is the tree line taken at the reservoir? It is cold here too. Every so often we have a day in the 70's, but seems to slip back into cold again.
Just think- Before you know it, you'll be taking pictures of trilliums!!
I think winter decided to put in a return appearance here on the Plateau in Tennessee. It's been cold and rainy for several days now. We've been fortunate in that the severe weather has missed us, but I am looking forward to warmer weather. I like your pictures, especially the one of the 'bumpy' tree.
