Theme day: Comfort food

 

I promised myself I would never post pictures of food.  But the Theme for March is comfort food.  So here it is.  Homemade sourdough bread cooling on the rack.

Success

The heron was hunting.

He splashed head first into the water.

Success!

 

Bluebird

This little bluebird watched us from a safe perch.

 

Spring

Right now, most of the country is covered in snow.  

But the first flowering trees are in full bloom here in Raleigh.

A late frost could still freeze the blooms off, but for now, enjoy!

 

Visiting Anole

She looked like a wise little dinosaur.

She's a green anole, even though she was brown right then.  Anoles can change color depending on their mood. (See here)

 

Heron again

Doesn't everyone need a heron picture once in a while?

 

Woody

We've walked in these woods for years, and seen a lot of woodpeckers.  But until this year we had never seen a Pileated woodpecker.  This year we see them often.  Are there more, or are we better spotters?
