Nature Notes and SkyWatch ~ Springtime at Home

Apologies for a composite post, there was just no way around

it this time.

View of the sunrise through my window to the west. This is what

I see as I open my eyes. Luckily I always have a camera to hand.

By the time I get up and leave my room the swallows nesting

in my studio have already had their breakfast and now serenade

me on my way to mine.

With the wonderful spring rains we had, just everything is in

bloom.View down to my daughter's house where the garden

is a-wash with blossoms.

Again, thanks to the rain, the swimming dam has been spilling

over for a little while although we are now having some nasty

hot and windy weather that sucks up the water like a vacuum

cleaner. We are promised rain now and again but nothing

happens apart from the continuing evaporative losses.

I was eating an apple on my walk but how could I resist those

pleading eyes and the pretty please of Poppy' wicker?
