Took a walk around my yard earlier this morning. Many surprises in the front and backyard to share.
I decided to make this collage to share with you. Each photo is labeled.
1. Blue Pansies are blooming.
2. Azaleas are just starting to bloom.
3. Lilacs are almost done blooming.
4. Four Robin Eggs in the holly bush. (there were three in my last post)
Two more robin nests are in the front and backyard, but too high up for me to see. The Momma Robins are sitting on the nests, and I will leave them alone to do their job. Babies soon I am sure. Also I found a Thrasher nest (photos coming soon) and an empty nest. Time will tell what else I can find in the bushes and trees.
I am making sure the bird bath stays clean and full. They all enjoy the water. I see a male and female cardinal daily. The have a nest hidden somewhere. Always makes me happy to see the cardinals. Doves, blackbirds and mockingbirds are also showing up at the bird bath.
Enjoying spring in my yard. Always an exciting time of the year. And today is a beautiful day. Lots of sunshine to enjoy.

Glad to hear your yard as getting some life, and spring appears to have sprung.

Is the color of the eggs real? I've never seen blue eggs before. They're so beautiful, especially when seen with the colorful flowers in the pic. A nice garden you have there. I'm glad it's already spring there. I also remember when it was spring when I visited my aunt and we were also bird watching from our window, for birds drinking and feeding. It was a wonderful sight.

That is a nice picture.
Everything labeled so well.
Always great to see Birds coming to the Bird bath.
I hope that the Spring spirit is on in your place.
Yet if it warms up too much, that too can be a matter of concern.
Have a nice Sunday.

Thank you. I finally feel blessed in life. Took awhile to get here. Only thing missing is Dustin.
As for the eggs, they are about the size of peanut M&Ms. Yes they are that tiny. Smaller than a grape. Incredible to see these tiny eggs and to watch them hatch into babies. Nature truly is incredible and magical.

Sorry your day has not been a spring day. But it is coming soon I know. This too shall pass for sure. Don't we know that is true. The lilacs have not bloomed a lot this year. We have had some cold nights the past week. But I did get a few blooms to enjoy.

Thank you. I am happy too. Many more blooms to come. I have lost a few plants due to the hard freezes we have had over the winter. But they can be replaced. There are many species of birds and usually there is a new one each year.

Great pictures! I hope all six robins survive into adulthood.

@CarolDM I imagine there is. Robins are migratory birds, so the fine is several thousand dollars (here in New York, anyway) when anyone is caught destroying or removing a nest.

@Chellezhere Robins don't migrate here, they stay year round. The climate is good for them I suppose. Glad they are protected there.

I enjoy all photos you share here.They all are wonderful.The overbridge could have been constructed without destroying the plants;but the concerned officials were adamant.
