I have very few crocuses left thanks to the resident chipmunks who eat the corms, but a couple of early crocuses have bloomed. Lovely. They may not survive long as we may get a bit of snow in a couple of days. Today was 17C. The typical March roller-coaster.
I have a dependable patch of snowdrops, which the chipmunks don't eat, but their down-facing flowers means that this is the usual view. They look like a flock of helicopters.
Looking at them from a chipmunk's vantage point, I get to appreciate their lovely markings,
and their most unusual shape.
Today, I saw a blue heron poised motionless on the bank of the stream staring fixedly at the water. He will probably be able to catch some minnows. The song birds are getting noisy in the morning as they scope out suitable nesting sites. Hopefully soon the little flycatchers and hummingbirds will be back.
Take care.
