Eastern Bluebird

As I reviewed the pictures I took during the month of March, I noticed several of Eastern Bluebird. The earliest fringe of spring is a good time to see them start to claim nesting locations, and to hear their soft warble of a song. Even before Tree Swallows have returned, the singing of an Eastern Bluebird tells me that warmer weather is on the way.

These three photos represent a triple delight of good timing, good focus and good subject.

Snow Day

Back at the beginning of March, a winter storm whipped through Virginia and deposited enough snow to cause things to close. Most of Virginia panics at the mere mention of snow, so even a few inches is enough to close schools, businesses and bring out the "best" drivers ever!

I stayed home on snow day and worked, but it was hard not looking outside the window at the snow. And occasionally, I would see something outside my window that was simple, yet too precious to pass up.
