Today’s #10MinMerlin from the Willamette Valley. Also seen, a Rufous Hummingbird. Between them and the Turkey Vultures showing up a couple of weeks ago, and the swallows this week, it definitely feels Springy!

#Caturday club

3 cats, one black with white whiskers, one sweet orange with green eyes, and one tabby in a cuddle pile gaze at the camera languidly.

Regularly in awe of my surroundings!

Brown-black outcropping of basalt towers overhead with blue sky covered in wispy white clouds above. The slopes downhill toward the viewer are covered in a rainbow of green from light acid green ground cover to deep shades of mature conifers.

Joy is abundant for me when the first local strawberries arrive at the Grower’s Market!

8 red strawberries with green stem tops are nestled together on a white plate resting on a blond wood table.

Clover is suspicious of the interloper.

A gray tabby cat up on her rear legs has a front paw on a beaded black cat face change purse. The purse rests on a round metal tray that has an etched design which sits on a round stool. The cat is looking intently at the purse.

Today’s #TenMinMerlin didn’t turn up the Orange-crowned warbler or the butterbutts who were here earlier this week. Also, a SOSP spent most of the time eating within 10 feet of me and never made a peep.

Getting reacquainted with old familiar haunts is refreshing when they look like this. Saw 5 Sandhill cranes, my first of the season, just a couple of miles from here.

A tall snow capped mountain is seen behind meadow and conifer forest. Some scraps of snow are in the foreground on the brownish meadow. Cloud banks and blue sky are over the whole scene.

I know the rain is a blessing but I’m going to flashback to a recent sunny Saturday. 😎

A couple of flights of wine both red and white are on a table on an outdoor patio. Blue skies are over the whole scene with some wispy white clouds. A valley vista of green-brown mountains are in the background.

The growers market is open and I can walk to it! The trip over this morning sure felt like spring!

In the foreground, green open fields, in the distance, mountains that are soft green. Some farm buildings including a red barn are in the middle.

White and gray clouds intermixed with spots of blue sky are reflected in the vast expanse of a reservoir in the southern Cascade Mountains

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline

2 white flowers with a tinge of pink on their hairy petals stand amongst green ferns and other green foliage.
