Colors and Surprises of Spring

There's such a wealth of color in these Spring days;

from the floral purples....

...oranges and yellows...

...to the stunning mating plummages of the birds!

I saw my first eastern bluebird this year and was able to get a few quick shots at him.

I have longed to see one in real life since I became acquainted with it on Jayne's blog last year.

I was not disappointed. It is the sweetest little bird

and, as is often the case,

the timing was perfect.
