Spring Has Finally Sprung....

Even though the calendar says it's spring, in these parts it can take a while for warm weather to arrive. I went out on a shoot the other day and found these violets growing next to Sabattus River.

Another Violet.....

Here's another photo I took at the river the other day.

Spring Violet....

I took this photo Monday morning along the bank of the river. There was no dew but this one water droplet was clinging on the end of the blade of grass right next to the violet.

On a separate note, I haven't seen the chickadees that were going to nest in my nest box for a few days. Yesterday I noticed an eye pearing out at me from inside the box and it looked bigger than a chickadee eye, it turned out to be a red squirrel. I guess it drove out the chickadees and decided to take it over.
