Evening walk

Early evening moon faintly showing in the fading light

Our weather has been all over the place.
cold.
then wet.
now hot
steamy.
helicopter seed pods rain down.  
dancing spirals
 slow spins touching spring green grasses.
a robin sings sweetly from a good perch.
bumble bees buzz the nearly open honey locust blooms.
small creatures play peek a boo.
rat-a-tat-tatting drums a beat.

this master recycler is hard at work.
new births are near for the does.
a glorious evening as the sky darkens to show off the moon.

Hi Karen! It's like we have the same backyard---those little critters visit me too. :0) I love helicopter seeds! They make me think of being a kid--wait, am I not a kid anymore? Well, I still enjoy throwing them in the air! Take care!

Wonderful pictures!! We had a strange spring also -- it stayed cold longer than usual and then turned into early summer almost overnight. Still - everything is blooming and beautiful so I won't complain.

The little raccoon as "master recycler" made me smile. Great pictures Karen on this wild ride of spring.
