Days 120-126

Day 120
Raindrops on roses . . . in black & white.

Day 121
One of three cats in our household . . . Chloe, the grand old dame with the emerald eyes.

Day 122
I found this snail on the rim of a cement and stone table.  Love the colours against the mix of pebbles.

Day 123
This crazy critter had me doing research to identify it.  Turns out it is a brachonid wasp and that long thing that looks like a needle is called an ovipositer by which it deposits its eggs in a favourable location.

Day 124
Love my feathered friends that come to visit.

Day 125
With the allium finished, the lavender is the newest attraction for the bees.

Day 126
My daughter's garage sale find . . . very cool!

Across the street and down the lane a little  . . . lovely pink blossoms.

 Emma . . . can't decide if she wants to go out or stay in. (A friend's cat)

Day 60
 This robin was singing a lovely song.

Day 61
 More blossoms  . . . they are everywhere this week.  These were at the pool in Langley.

Day 62
 When returning my mobility aids to the Red Cross I spied this little fellow outside the restaurant next door.

Day 63
Clematis has started putting out buds . . . hope they get a little farther along the trellis this year.

Yesterday the first robin, today snowing like crazy . . . didn't last long though.

Spring is busting out all over.

Part of the nightly routine around here . . . treats to entice Gracie home from Auntie Shannon's.  Works every time. 

Day 21
I had some errands to run and found this little fella in a tree in the parking lot by the Organic Grocer.  That's why I take my camera everywhere.
