Toby and I met at AA a few times, checked in by phone... and then she got a job tracing the coronavirus! Yay, Toby! I explored spring's arrival in my backyard, neighborhood, a local preserve, and the Arboretum. Followed my Japanese maple and an apple tree, but otherwise decided to capture whatever caught my eye-- which you'll see was a lot. Attached is my padlet-- most recent pics first.

It’s like entering the home of herons, swans, ducks, geese, redwing blackbirds and turtles. The river is calm and peaceful, full of surprises as it winds through marsh and forest. It never fails to delight me. A highlight was the discovery of a swan couple swimming with six cygnets that appeared to be just a few weeks old. Difficult to photograph, but captured pretty well in a video. Zoom in and enjoy!
