Buttercups and swans

Thought I'd finally post some pictures for the first day of spring. Happy Spring everyone :!: :) Even though it doesn't feel like it for lot's of you, it really is on it's way. Has been windy and cool here, no grass yet, some years we've turned out by now. We've had blackbirds since Jan. Now have blackbirds, killdeers, swans, LOTS of ducks and geese, buttercups, and celery, and the grass is trying to grow.

The swans are one of my most favorite things, I just love to see and hear them.

They just stop over to rest on their way to wherever they are going. I wish they would stay all summer!

Neat pictures Nicky. I would love to see swans stop over here, never have seen em,
don't know how far south they go before they stop??? We do hear geese when they are flyin north and south.
Thanks for sharin em.

What we call buttercups here are bloomin too, they really aren't buttercups they are pink
evening primroses, but got the name because when you smell them they leave yellow pollen
on yer nose. I been meanin to stop and take pictures of some along the roadside.

Neat!

We get a few swans aroundhere, once in a great whil, tho' they never seem to stay.

Used to think it was pretty neat when some Canadian geese started stopping and trying to raise little ones. Only problem, a few years after the geese started stopping, we started to find canadian thistle. I'm not sayng they brought it, but it seems funny that where the geese spent the summer, was where we first found the thistle!

:shock:
