Cattail reflections... 

Ants find a future Peony irresistable... 

Rhubarb flower... 

Bayberry bush... 

Colorado Blue Spruce; early cones... 

Spring Cattails... 

Predator...

Mating toads; wide color variation... 

Great Blue at sundown... 

Butterfly Bush in the rain... 

Great Blue Heron in flight... 

A pair of goldfinches (wild canaries). 

The ant and the hummer... both just trying to make a living. Who is to say which might be a pest?

Like an oversized bumblebee, suddenly... there he is... 

Fueling... 

Male Ruby-Throated comes in to feed... 

Tanked up and on his way... 

"Rocket"... 

Lilacs, full bloom... 

The deer in our area are not exactly shy... (taken from behind my son's back door). 

Suspended... 

New leaves catch the last light... 

As a change from Spring in New England, here's a guest shot from my sister in Thailand... (Image by AKP). 

Giving its all... 

A "wild" pear tree blooms...
