Spring is in the air

[JohnP]

Cactus are starting to bloom, trees are budding out, dove are sitting on eggs.  Our birds from up north and further south are coming back to the desert southwest.  A beautiful time of the year.

Nice picture John!! Spring is my favorite time of the year too.

I'll second what HaMer said ... that is a neat picture Mr John. It's 63 here with blue skies for a change! Now if that wind will just lay down some ...

love the color in that one    Gobblers already struttin around here and we dont have anything flowering yet but the daffydills are starting to poke through the ground.

love the color in that one

It is a great picture, but what really amazes me more is how a bird can land on a branch covered in thorns and not get stuck by any of them.  I know it is great protection for them, but look at the thorns and the bird sitting there in the middle of them.

Jerry - I'll try to get a picture of a cactus wren bulding her nest in the cactus, also a javelina "eating" a prickly pear pad covered in thorns.
