bird watching, listening

With this warm weather, I had my windows open last night and this morning Miss Robin surprised me with her wakeup song.  That put a smile on my face before I ever got out of bed.  The robin was sitting in a tree outside my window and although I didn't have my camera, this is probably what she looked like.

There was lots of bird watching to be done at the lake by the Littleton Museum where I take my walk, so camera in hand, here are some birds I saw:

It is definitely mating season as all the ducks are staying close with their mates.

This female wood duck looks like she is very popular!!  There were actually three males around her, but they wouldn't stay still for a picture.

These mourning doves sat in the tree and I think they knew they were getting their picture taken.  Oh what a wonderful sound they have.  Spring!!!!

a little indoor gardening

Fernleaf Lavender

The basil is coming up - hope not too soon for the garden!!

"True Rose" Pelargonium growing under lights; smells wonderful.
Hopefully will have blooms some day .......

This is Lady Plymouth Pelargonium, but not mine;
I'm hoping mine will look like this some day!!!!
