Bushtit Nest

We don't know what's happening inside the nest! The parents are still (or again?) bringing nesting material in, but no sign of fledglings yet. It's challenging to see, now that the clematis has leafed out, but it sure is pretty. Soon there will be purple flowers too.

Into the Woods

A couple of different adventures in the woods - Tryon Creek State Park and Camp Collins on the Sandy River. (Click on the photos for a larger view.)

The sweet hobbit cabins at Camp Collins.

Foot bridge - or in my case, scooter bridge.

Look inviting?  Uh, no.

Someone thought this looked like a suspended marimba - well, we were at music camp!

Tryon Creek Park.

Tryon is famous for its trilliums - though we were at the end of the season.

Spring Fleurs

Suddenly spring is busting out all over!

Drops

I love the way these plants hold the rain or dew drops.

Tulip Peeking

Early morning, the tulips aren't open yet for the day, but I get a peek inside with my macro lens. (For a larger view, click on the photos.)
