Spring is creeping into Maryland
Mar 8, 2017 14:57:17 #
The weather is as erratic as I can remember in Maryland...temperatures in the low teens one day and the low seventies the next. So far, we have enjoyed some blooms from the daffodils and the forsythia. Lots of mating songs from the birds accompanied with some intense dancing. The intensity of the colors sported by the male birds is nearly at it's peak. I am still taking most of my bird shots through the kitchen window.
I hope you are all well and that you have a chance to enjoy the seasonal changes!

Nicely done, Bob! I enjoyed very much.
It snowed here yesterday, and outside Yakima city limits there is still much snow on the ground (might as well be in Maine, lol). I'll be anticipating those signs of spring soon, though

Nice.... We have had Daffodils blooming for weeks now. Birds a singing too. No images though. Saw my first butterflies of the year while out with the dog... BTW, I lived in Maryland from 1956 thru 1992, originally from Wisconsin. I lived in and around Baltimore though. Lived in Reisterstown prior to getting transferred to Georgia by my work.

Wonderful set Bob and I so enjoyed all your spring colors and feathered friends!!
Only one crocus I spotted today, but I did bring some forsythia branches into the house and forced them to open, but they don't look anywhere as beautiful as yours!!
Thanks for sharing your Maryland spring!!

It looks like spring has arrived in Maryland, Bob, and what a beautiful display of birds and blooms! I love all of these and especially the frilly daffodil. Our azaleas have already bloomed and dropped from the shrubs. Very strange weather this year.

A really nice set. The flowers are crisp and sharp and the birds are very well done too.

As much as I detest cold weather I do envy the seasonal changes you guys get to enjoy. They are gorgeous images Bob and they instill in me a feeling of what you guys must get an enormous delight from. Spring has sprung!!

Excellent downloads, Bob, and amazing detail for taking through the window. Glad that you are ok and each season makes us appreciate the coming of Spring even more. Take care!

Nice Set, Bob...!!! You are soooo right about our weather here in Maryland. I am dying for Spring to fully break through. I just added a Canon 70-200mm F/4L to my kit and am really ready to put thru the paces..!!!
