Our World, My World


Happy Monday everyone!

Spring has sprung in my neighborhood and yard. Our first blooms to see are the daffodils. We are seeing lots of new buds on the trees and our forsythia is about to bloom. 




I was thankful for my hubby doing some spring cleaning in the yard and pond. The frogs will be happy that the leaves were removed. Living next to the forest, we have way too many leaves in our yard. I saw about 5-6 frogs in our little pond. One day I saw the frog eggs floating on top of the pond.



The Carolina Chickadee has a nest in our side yard, they were fussing at me one day when I walked past to get our mail. 



The Great Blue Herons are adding to their nest, I guess to make it sturdier! 




Thanks for your visit today!  I hope you enjoyed my post and photos.

Hello,

Beautiful images of the daffodils! They are so pretty. The frogs are laying eggs in my pond too later on. It's still covered with snow.
Happy new week!

The birds are wonderful as always, but you can probably guess that today it is your daffodils that are making me happy. I love these beauties so much and do not see them at all these days.

MadSnapper said...

love the frogs and would love to live on edge of forest. our rain barrel the frogs are doing their thing. as soon as they do I am aborting the eggs.. no more frogs or tadpoles in the rainbarrel….

Your shot of the chickadee reminded me I haven't filled my feeders.

Barbara Rogers said...

Glad to see herons are making more to their nest, it does look a bit insecure at this point. You soon will have tadpoles to add to your zoo!

RedPat said...

No daffodils here yet but hopefully if we get some warm weather we will see some soon!

EricaSta said...

Wonderful springtime... I enjoyed the description and captures.
Happy MosaicMonday

Red said...

I am always amazed at how fragile heron nests are.

Debbie said...

the daffodils are so pretty and what a gorgeous image of the heron!!

Marie Smith said...

Last year was the first time I saw blue herons in a tree. It was fascinating to watch them.

Angie said...

Eileen - we have Montana spring-time weather today. One moment sun, the next a blizzard of flurries! So I got a kick out of your daffodils and the fact that you have already seen frog eggs. They sure didn't waste any time! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday, my friend!

Bill said...

The blue herons are usually seen in the water here. The one in the tree is beautiful.
The flowers are very pretty to see. Nice images, Eileen and have a wonderful day and new week.

Cloudia said...

Wonderful country!

Michelle said...

Lovely spring images, Eileen. Have a great week.

Nancy J said...

Golden colour, a lovely shade to herald in the bulbs of spring. The Great Blue, a stately bird, and needing a bigger nest maybe.

Penelope Notes said...

Daffodils and chickadees are everywhere in my world but frogs seem to hide out and are a little more difficult to spot. It would be nice to see more them here. :)

Lady Fi said...

How lovely to see spring!

Ana Mínguez Corella said...

The flowers especially are very beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

HappyK said...

Beautiful daffodils, wish they lasted a bit longer.
Great picture of the heron.

Sondra said...

Awesome yellow daffs!~That's a huge frog! Today we watched a bluebird pair audition a possible nest spot in one of our Plastic Gourds...maybe, they seemed to stuffing it with bits of things...

~Lavender Dreamer~ said...

These Spring flowers sure bring back memories of my childhood. We always had lots of them in the flower beds, doubles and yellow and white ones too. It was more like Spring here today so we hiked! Enjoy your week sweet friend!

ellen b. said...

The frogs are really croaking these evenings! I wonder how many we have around our pond? Love your daffodils and the birds that visit you.

Your spring is ahead of us, of course, but we are getting there. Many migrants have returned and are staking out territories and seeking mates. Renewal is in the air.

Daffodils signal spring to me! We have lots of them in the mountains near San Diego. They are so cheerful and bright!

Rose said...

My daffodils have been blooming and the dogwood is opening up. Spring is springing all around! And isn't it fun to watch?

Sandra Nachlinger said...

Gorgeous photos! Our daffodils are fading but the tulips are opening.
I'm new to Our World Tuesday, but I hope to participate more often in the future.
