With apologies to those of you still staring out at a snow-dusted world,
here are the latest scenes from my little neighborhood.

Easter-egg-blue sky and wakeful moon...
I have no idea what these are, but I like them!
Green, waking, stretching, growing...
Oaks are waking up, too...
Sparrows traveling in teams...
And last but not least, the Tufted Titmouse stopping by to say hi...
