Hubbard Park (Meredin CT) has a daffodil festival every year. It was this weekend but we went today with our friends the keatings when the crowds were gone and it was nothing but flowers.

This Wood duck has been on my bucket list for awhile . Today I found not One BUT two!

Not much out of the ordinary at Milford Audubon

 He flew right over us and does not look happy!

 Osprey having his lunch first then he brings it up to the nest for the Misses

The rain has stopped and a daffodil gets a moment in the sun!

A round trip 3.5 mile walk today on the bridle path yielded many signs of spring. Ducks, Butterfly, Turtle and what it was built for...Horses too!

Spring colors paint the pond as a duck leaves a   wake.

 Trees have some light spring buds and a bit of green grass starts to pop as spring is right around the corner.

 A fleeting moment as this butterfly landed to take in the sun for just a second.

 Mr & Mrs mallard explore the marsh...chicks will follow soon

I ain't coming out of here until you two just keep on walking by.

During this cold winter I entered a contest in CAP ( Connecticut Association of Photographers). Its open to any photographer in the state. My photo taken in NYC won in the category for Best Cityscape .

Easter 2015

                                    HAPPY EASTER!!!

The one good thing about all the snow we had this year is great runoff for waterfalls.
