Ambitious animals, those beavers! This dam, with its classic serpentine shape, ranges from two to five feet in height and is about sixty feet long. It is actually part of a complex of ponds, there is another higher pond (different stream) just off to the right. While chewing on several good oak trees (annoying), the beaver also seems willing to use barberry that has gotten to the inch plus in diameter size in his construction. Or possibly as a food source. This is rather nice of him.

from the other day:
I am going to figure out how to make crocus work in a naturalistic fashion, someday! These are a species crocus with a fairly good, saturated color planted in a tall grass section of the lawn. The deeper color is more effective against the light background of the dead grass than the paler pastels. (pure white also works) Now, if I can get past the vole issue….

from Esperanza, and current too! Just a photograph, but still.
Spring is just about to get going, holding off another week or two I think (no bad thing, considering the forecast) but definitely coming along. I am always impressed by how much the various bees like the species tulips and crocus, this one (part of a group) was no exception.

also known as today’s random photo, since while today was very busy it really isn’t blog fodder, so a random photo it is! You will note that a broken top really does not detract from the bottle’s interest, at least in my view.

with Scots pine, which usually doesn’t care for the region.

The fence line is a little distracting. But I like the mullein, asters, goldenrod, and blueberry bush. Something to be said for not getting around to cleaning up in the fall! The plants don’t seem to mind anyway.
And, yes that really was the color of the sky. Robin’s egg blue. I’ve noticed that late winter/early spring storms often seem to break that way: a very hard trailing edge to the front. Maybe others do as well, but that seems to be when it is most noticeable.
