only the brave need apply

I saw reluctant morning skies over White Bear Lake this week, Both the daylight and I were slow to awaken.

Eventually the grey clouds dissipated but not before a fisherman had shoved off into the water and cast his first line.

Spring is edging its way closer to us in spite of a couple of nights of frost. I've noticed two Blue Herons, four white egrets, a flock of cormorants, and a few wooducks out and about in the brisk air.

Factoid: one must be tough as leather to live in Minnesota. . .and like to fish! I'm linking these pics to Skywatch Friday.

red abounding

This tulip's last hurrah seemed elegant enough to capture in a neighbor's yard in May.

Fast forward to this weekend where we wandered around an annual vintage motorcycle show. This gorgeous Indian from the 1950's was one of my favorites.

Enjoy more reds here.

Apple blossoms that would make Fibonacci proud~~found on a very old apple tree in Bald Eagle-Otter Lakes Regional Park

This spring's fashion statement: white with red stripes [enlarge for a better view]. Some things never go out of style~~visit Mary's meme Ruby Tuesday for more red beauty.

Monday has little dusty pawprints

Spring comes to Minnesota on little cat paws--cautiously, but when it does, its beauty is well worth the wait.
