Pollinators were loving this flowering Common Boneset

Pine Marten visitor to my campsite. What a treat!

Just a cardinal eating crabapple petals all afternoon

It was a large and enthusiastic crowd that greeted the Prime Minister today. The optimism was refreshing!

My daughter Vicky sent me this video from home of a male bluebird fancy flying and chattering with a feather in his beak. The female is sitting on the nesting box. He passes her the gift then perches on the fence wire. Looks like there will be babies again this year. Courtship and nesting behaviour

Any closer and I would have been splashed.

On a sunny, spring afternoon I enjoyed this little wetland at The Canadian Canoe Museum. It stores and purifies rain water from the roof while providing habitat for wildlife. Kudos to Basterfield and Associates Landscape Architects.

Three years ago spring was happening! This year it’s trying my patience…

No shortage of water in spring.

Coming soon to a garden near you and designed to lift your spirits.
