The two black jack oaks right out our front door. One always loses all its leaves in the fall, one has dead brown leaves hanging on it all winter. They finally fell off. New leave must be ready to sprout.
We have a few Redbud trees, all in the same pasture. They are blooming and so pretty.
Another sign of spring, a guinea nest! It has 3 eggs, she lays one every other day. It looks like the female is a dark pearl color, there are two bigger off white guineas that must be males. Today while she laid her egg, they both stood guard. There is another guinea that is a light brownish color with the pearl speckles. The two big whitish ones chase it away. Male? Ugly female? I don’t know. Anyway, I’m enthralled with watching the nest.
Very pretty! I love the lichen too!
The first blooms are always so ... happy, I guess. Always makes me smile and it is the beautiful glimpse of new life springing forth.
We have our yellow blanket here, too....it is Spring everywhere, but in Florida it is Fall.....the new growth is what pushes the old leaves off and they Fall.........what variety of pear?....the blooms sure are pretty!!.....
