Signs of Spring

Though yesterday was cloudy and rainy, I decided to go outside. I have been tired of being cooped up, fighting the cold. And of course, I usually end up going out despite the cold and rain, anyway.


 The daffodils are a clear sign of Spring, and they are popping up everywhere!

 Some have even already opened...


 Rain, another sign of the Blooming Season and it is so refreshing!

 I don't know what these sprouts are, but they are a beautiful red.

 Green leaves and a broken brick.



 Even the tiniest flowers are opened. These little blossoms are a beautiful, electric blue.


 The trees and bushes also are beginning to have little, baby leaves and buds.

Here is a pic I got while marveling at the signs of Spring. Layla loved it so much, so I just went ahead and threw it in. It is a door knob of an old abandoned house...

The grass withers and the flowers fade but the word of our God stands forever. Isaiah 40:8
 I thought of this verse while exploring the wonders of our Creator. The pretty daffodils and the lush green grass will, in fact fade and wither one day. But God and His Word will stand forever. It is a nice thought. Life can seem so short and fragile but God has always, and will always be there. 

Blessing,
Hagen

Creatures of the Air

Today was beautiful, the sun was out and there wasn't a cloud in the sky! I decided to take my zoom lens out again and see what little birdies might be out.


 Proud robin...









 Spring is certainly just around the corner! The trees are full of buds and robins are everywhere....
   
 A bit of black and white for ya....
Cute little woodpecker!

I am so thankful it's finally warming up! I just hope it'll stay that way. Sometime soon we would like to go to our local conservation center, so that's a great photo opportunity!

What did you think of these pics?
Love,
Hagen

Odds & Ends {6}

Despite the chilly weather, I decided to venture outside with my zoom lens and find something to capture...
The sun was out and the sky was an extraordinary blue.



 I followed the same robin around, just watching him. He waited patiently for me to snap a couple pics before flying  away.....

 The sky has been grey, cloudy. The sun has not been out... But we have had a few days of straight sun and blue sky! I was rather excited, I just cant wait till Spring!


Have you had any sunshine? Are you ready for Spring?
Love,
Hagen

My Cat

It is to cold outside for my liking so I decided to do a mini photoshoot of my cat as she basked in the sun.
I don't think she enjoyed it as I did though!


 Her sleepy face....

 Her "I must hunt that squirrel!" face...

 Look at her little, furry ears!

 You can tell she's feeling a bit irritated in this picture. She's like, "Seriously?"


I got a few more but these were the bests. Her eyes were exceptionally yellow but she wouldn't let me get close enough to get a good picture....

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed these pictures!
Love,
Hagen

Odds & Ends {5}

Please forgive me of my absence. I have no good excuse except that I got sick with the flu. (I suppose that's a pretty good excuse, right?)
Anyway, the pictures are few...


 Geese flying over head...

 Frozen bubble....

 Sunset...

Reflections....

Sorry that's all... I'm still trying to catch up on all the pictures I missed while I was sick... But the good news is that I am all better!
Love,
Hagen
