  • Crocus n’ a Woodpecker

    March

    2006

    I get all excited when the flowers start comin’ up, I forget what they are (it’s been so long!) so I just start throwing names at them. My poor Dwarf Irises were deemed Crocus for a few days, until the Crocus showed up.

    So, these are Crocus. A little bling-bling for your spring-spring today!

    Also, we had another visitor who was most striking. I took a couple hundred photographs of her yesterday while sitting out in the studio. I’m so easily distracted! Show me a new bird and I’ll drop my paintbrushes in a nanosecond and be clicking away with the camera.

    This is a Downy Woodpecker (female). She loves the berry suet we have out, she was back several times yesterday.

    How beautiful she is! We had a HUGE redheaded male in a tree next door two weeks ago that was just amazing. I, like you, love to watch the birds 🙂

    I can’t wait for the flowers to start popping here. It was snowing this morning.

    Beautiful flowers and bird. I love the sound the woodpeckers make in the woods.

    Great pictures! I’ve got a male downy that has been devouring my suet. He must be getting his energy up for you-know-what. LOL.
