Another Early Spring

It's another early Spring here, and my heart goes out to all the people living in blizzard country.

We set records in February for heat... 5 days of 80 ° +.  The previous record was like 2 days....  3 of those days of 80+  broke all-time records... definitely global warming here...

 Honey bee 

and cabbage butterfly... saw a tiger swallowtail this morning... followed it around with camera, and it refused to hold still. 

 Bloodroot and buckeye

 Gray tree frog in the wall of my house.

Goldfish sunning themselves

 Check this clutch of eggs!

They burst open to become these anemone stinkhorns. (Aseroe rubra)

 Carolina jessemine and Chinese wisteria

 Not sure what the towhee was complaining about on a beautiful Spring day...

The gopher tortoise is doing some spring house cleaning.

Sandhill cranes flying....  13 seconds of video of their calls.

 Flowers on the hardy orange.

 Tomato seedlings that the cats planted...

 Cat inspecting the spinach...

The poppies are fat and happy.

The hellebore are peaking.

There are so many trees in bloom, will post this redbud... and not post the peaches, pears, cherry and whatever else...

Just to show that I had them... The daffodil are pretty much finished....
