Weekly challenge 4/3 - 4/16 Spring has sprung! EXTENDED

photoflyer · Apr 10, 2021

Visited Arlington National Cemetery today on behalf of a friend in Colorado who has never seen where her Grandfather was laid to rest in 2020 in the main columbarium and my wife who is not able to visit her Father who is just 50 feet away: small world.

Budding trees:

I got to thinking after I shot this that if that road extended through the cemetery and Ft Myer for just 2 miles, I could walk home.

Flowers everywhere.

When the roses start blooming in SE Texas, you know it's spring.

Straight up or on the rocks? Or "make mine a double."?

This is a North Carolina House Finch. I saw him in our back yard and snapped a few shots. I don't have a long enough lens w/ vibration control for birding and I had to crop heavily. It's the best I could do.

Love the color, but wondering if this would work as black/white.

Not pretty! Vultures hanging out waiting for some tasty roadkill.

Vultures and crows are 2 of my favorite birds. I like your first shot a lot.

I think the Texas winter storm has something to do with what locals are calling "the year of the worm". These guys are freaking EVERYWHERE. I can't go outside without bringing in 4-5 hitchhikers :/

1) how many do you see??? I see 6 but in reality there are probably 6,000

2) tiny lil inch worm

3) race to.....?????
