Yields to Spring.

The forest floor comes alive.

The garden flowers emerge.

 This is it.  The moment is at hand!  Spring is springing before our very eyes.

It’s exciting.  It’s awesome.  Everyone is ready for Spring! 

But I must take a moment to say goodbye… 

Goodbye to the scene.  Goodbye to the party.  Goodbye to the back yard full of critters.

Goodbye Winter Critters.WinterCritters_02

It has been SO much fun!WinterCritters_01

I know  – We’ll still see each other around.WinterCritters_02a

You’re not going anywhere. 

But – still –  it’s not the same in Summer. 

You hide in the trees and you find your own food. WinterCritters_03

The constant party…WinterCritters_04

Fades away.  Everybody does their own thing.

So – later dudes.  Thanks for the good times.  Thanks for the memories.  You’re off to eat bugs and I’m off to grow flowers. I’m already looking forward to the social season come next November. 

I’m sure gonna miss watching you dive bomb for the feeders…WinterCritters_05

Soaring out from the tree…WinterCritters_11b

And landing on a crowded flight deck.WinterCrittters_11a

I’m gonna miss watching you share so nicely…WinterCritters_15

And I’ll definitely miss our daily dose of fuzziness…WinterCritters_07

I’ll keep a little food out for a snack…WinterCritters_19
