Celery Farm Dawn & Update
Looked out the window this morning.
First thing I saw was a Red Fox trotting down the path between the spillway and the kiosk.
Next thing I saw was this sunrise just getting under way.
I apologize to the Great Blue Heron and the two pairs of Wood Ducks I flushed en route to the Warden's Watch to take this photo, but I was in a bit of a hurry and didn't see 'em until they flew.
Yesterday, Patty and I saw a Red-shoulder near the spillway.
It flew to the Fell House, where it had a date with its mate in one of the conifers.
Spring is in the air. Now, if only we could find out where they're going to nest.

That is gorgeous! No wonder you were in such a hurry to capture it!

Oh…so pretty! It reminds me of the pastel hues of Easter and Spring. Didn’t we dye eggs those colors? The rosy pink was called red and the lavender was called purple on the Paas Easter egg dye kits. Those colors came out lighter than advertised. And the cloud shapes remind me of what the water looked like in the teacups when we first put the dye tablets in.

That’s stunning! Is that what they call a mackerel sky? That would mean a change is coming.
