Fields of Gold--------Flowers from Today

The Daffodil fields have finally begun to bloom. The Tulips will be late this year because of the very cold weather. The Tulip Festival in Skagit Valley starts April 1st. If we get some sun the fields should start opening up.

New kid on the block

First foal around here this Spring. Momma is so protective that whenever I tried to take a picture she would move around the little one.

Washington Park deer

Aren't these guys sweet. Look how fuzzy the baby is. They live at the park and since it is mostly wooded they have a forever home. There are more deer and they are quite friendly.
Washington Park sits on a peninsula at the west end of Fidalgo Island. The 220-acre city park features camping, a boat launch, and day use picnic sites. A scenic 2.2-mile loop road winds through the park’s forested hills and meadows with views of the San Juan Islands and Olympic Mountains.

Pond visitors

This pair of Hooded Mergansers have been seen at my pond for 3 days now. Are they going to stay or just visiting? They forage by diving and swimming underwater for any goodies they find. They nest in tree cavities. I think they are very pretty and unique. MB

Today is very windy but nice and sunny. It has warmed up and is in the low to mid 40s.
This is my pond and I was fascinated watching the sparkling ripples.
I guess it doesn't take mucj...LOL...MB
