Signs of Spring, 2009
¶ Wednesday, May 06, 2009 
 | We don't have ducks in the yard often. Lots of young ones around at the moment. |
 | The only thing surprising about the young ducks is that any of them were born, given the sometimes exposed and odd places they were laying eggs in Lakeside Park. |
 | Now that the threat of frost has (mostly) passed, they've put the banana trees back out around my building. It's still odd, yes, but I'm getting used to it. |
 | I love the Kansas sky. When it's clear, it's really quite a sight. Not to mention a fantastic backdrop for all kinds of growing things. |
 | It was a mild winter, and the squirrels are still pretty fat. |
 | I've never seen flowers come up so quickly that they took the mulch with it! |
 | These were all over the place last month: some kind of pear that's very popular around here. We have two towering ones in our backyard, but we're not sure how much they'll produce. |
 | Could I do a nature post without bugs? This three-inch locust was spotted at Pitt State; his little cousins are trying to colonize our garage, I think. We have big honeybees, too, but I haven't gotten any great shots yet. |

I love that fat, little squirrel. :) What's he eating, an orange slice? He looks so happy and smug!
