Daffodils and Snow

Our daffodils were just about ready to bloom when the last snowfall came down (April 19-20).  I sure hope this doesn't stop them.  According to the meteorologists, April snowstorms aren't that rare, but they aren't that common either.

HAPPY SPRING!!

What do robins eat when there is snow on the ground?

Have you ever wondered what the Wisconsin state bird eats when there is snow on the ground or the worms are frozen?  Well, I have, but last Sunday (March 27) when I was hiking the Derek Dobogai trail in Kiekhaefer Park, I saw how God takes care of his birds (Matthew 6: 26).

As I was heading back from the loop to the north end of the park I heard a passel of robins up ahead.  When I got closer, I noticed they were in a grove of sumacs pecking away at last year's red seed head, eating sumac seeds, I would guess.  They really didn't want me getting too close, so I'm glad I have a 20X zoom on my camera.  It should be noted that the camera was in color mode, but the pic sure looks black and white with red highlighting.

Anyway, those red-breasted robins are just another sure sign that God will soon be blessing us with spring weather.  And since the robins have now been snowed on three times, I would guess that spring is just around the corner.

Yacht Club Props

I took this early one morning at the FdL Yacht Club.  The yellow glow is not from the sun, but rather from a nearby street lamp.

Not today

Hey Camera Group - Don and I are wondering where your pictures are?

The blessings of living in Wisconsin!

Isn't it amazing how God blesses us here in Wisconsin?  

On Friday I was knee deep in a creek, trying to get the trout to sample a Renegade...











and less than twenty-four hours later, I'm sitting on the hard waters of a local lake trying to get the crappies and/or bluegills to snack on a maggot or two.

God is truly good!!

The woods are waking up from winter!!

I went trout fishing today, but since I didn't catch any fish, let's just say I was hiking along a creek in the woods carrying a fly rod and a camera.  Saw a plethora of these beginning to poke through the snow and leaf mold.  Not sure what they are, but they looked kind of cool.  Maybe if the fish would have cooperated more I wouldn't have seen these beauties.  The LORD provides!!  Spring is on its way.  Don
