I might buy myself some new spring clothes to cheer me up a bit...

Comfortable and inconspicuous

Other than that, I actually really enjoy spring. Travelled recently and skipped about 2 months ahead whether-wise: jumped from barely melted snow straight to lilac in bloom and it's really beautiful It's just that literally the first sign of spring for me is the pollen allergy.

^ Likewise. I love being out in nature, and it's wonderful therapy too. And despite the hay-fever, Spring is still my favourite time of year. I've always though that the English countryside is at it's most beautiful in May, in almost any kind of habitat.

Kingbirds and Catbirds back at the park. The summer residents are settling in.

Something ate the baby bluebirds.

^ Well that wasn't very nice. Snakes?

/\Most likely,last time it was a feral cat on Mother’s Day.I walked outside to see it raking the last nestling out,than it ran off with it in its mouth.
So now the bluebird family has left.

My feral kitties are out and about, as well as neighborhood cats

Starlings have somehow managed to nest halfway up the wall of the neighbouring block of flats. I can hear them, and see them flying to and fro. But I can't really take a good look at where the nest is without acting like I'm spying on people.

Filling up the hummer feeders.Wild roses and honeysuckle blooming.
Found a snake in a bag of peat moss.Crow at feeder carrying off extra for the nestlings.

I believe there's an oriole singing outside.

The DPW just went around and mulched all the roadside flower beds, so now the whole neighborhood smells like a manure pile.

Wild grapes are blooming.
Toads are trilling.
