Different Colors






Blue, Bue with stripes, Yellow, White, and a brownish blur. Two more colors of Crocus, the first Daffodil of the year (at least in our yard- it's shadier there; there's lots of them out in sunny spots), saw a Cabbage White butterfly browsing around the crocus in the back yard, and as I walked near the pond a brown blur jumped into the water, so one of the frogs survived the winter. The Koi, goldfish, and sunfish have been basking near the surface as well. We heard American Toads trilling last night- this is a few weeks early for them. Their call is one of my favorites sounds of the Spring.

Huntley Meadows today was a steady roar of frog calls, and Painted, Spotted, and Snapping Turtles were all out. Sighted across the swamp were some larger sliders, but too far away to determine species- probably Red-eared and Red-bellied. Saw three muskrats in two different places.
