A joyful reminder that there will always be light at the end of the tunnel -- we just need to be patient, hold tight and enjoy the spring loveliness that is waking up all around us.
I've only seen them in flight for fleeting seconds twice in 20 years here on Barnegat Bay. They are easily identifiable by their distinctive bills and iridescent feathers. I wonder if they are common wherever these pictures were taken.
Everything is at least two weeks early this year in the northwest Conn corner. Spring is here. But it’s not yet in full flush. Yesterday, intermittently, all day the forsythia was fronted by flurries. Nice. Measurable snow fell further north. It’s still April.
There's an old Polish saying: Kwiecień, plecień, bo przeplata, trochę zimy, trochę lata. Essentially, April's like a braid, because it intertwines a bit of winter and a bit of summer... We've the same experience here in Ontario. Things will improve, and in the meantime -patience is a virtue.
Some pig!
