It's SkyWatch Friday time! The sky here was full of spring yesterday.
This is looking out at our pond. A couple of Canada Geese have stopped and will probably stay to nest.
The Maple tree is in bud and these two blackbirds were sitting at the top enjoying Spring!
We took a walk at the wetlands and I found this tree in the woods in full bloom. Beautiful!
I love the blossoms. Not sure what it is.
The male cardinal sat high in the sky looking beautiful for all the females that might be around.
This Goldfinch was eating the flowers in the tree. Some just don't appreciate beauty and would rather fill their bellies :-)
An empty nest.
A Sycamore with it's lovely white branches and lots of "balls" hanging in the sky like decorations.

What stunning shots Mary. I do love that single blossom most of all.
Wow green grass Helen!!! I've got a long way to go to catch up with you.
Great shots! I love the first one with the criss cross clouds in the sky.
Wow, seeing these shots is making me jealous. It's the first day of spring but it was 20 degrees this morning.
Joan: They were very pretty blossoms. I liked the pink in them.
Eve: It's great to see it coming, if we don't get a frost.
Kallen: I had to lighten the sky a little too much in that one, to get everything else to show up.
John: Hang in there! it will get to Maine eventually!
Lovely spring pictures.The little flower is exquisite.

Beautiful spring photos, Mary. I miss the spring flowers of the north. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful pictures of spring. The close-up of the fruit tree flower is excellent!!
Ruth: Thanks!
Pam: Thanks!
Louise: I kept wondering which fruit tree it was. I don't recall seeing any with pink in the middle before. I figured it was a pear or plum being so early and very out of place in this woods.
Lovely sky and spring pictures.
Happy Spring!!
Happyone: Thanks for stopping by!
Beautiful!
Your pond is almost as pretty as ours. ;-)
That blossom is gorgeous.
Those blossoms are beautiful Mary!
It's so beautiful right now where you are. ;-)
Beautiful, Mary. I love that first picture. Seeing all of the green grassy areas around the pond made me smile. And of course I love all of the birds.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend. It's quite cool here today.
Hugs,
Betsy
How beautiful. I love them all but especially the first one. Makes me want to get a blanket and just find a place to lay down and stare at it all for awhile and dreat the day away!!
Lovely springtime scenes! Beautiful blossoms!
Mary: What a neat set of captures you made for SWF. I shot to Red Winged Blackbirds in a tree this week.
Nice and varied series!
The grass along your pond is soooooo green! I am envious!!
And that maple tree is the same type I have....I just don't know what that type is. Do you know??
That single blossom shot is outstanding! All of these say SPRING!!
There's nothing more beautiful and refreshing than a spring sky. Thanks for these wonderful photos.
Nice walk through the woods. The macro of the flower is beautiful.

Happy Spring, and Happy SkyWatch Friday! Great photos of the birds and blooms! :)
Wonderful to see spring is coming! And wonderful photos of life growing and thriving with it! The cardinal is such a beautiful bird - I only see it on pictures!
Have a nice weekend!
That close-up of the single blossom is wonderful as well as the one of the cardinal. Just beautiful.
Your pond is BEAUTIFUL, and look at all that green grass! Love it !
So much evidence of Spring. Not much here. We even had snow this morning!

Thank you everyone! I appreciate your comments, but have trouble answering all of them on SkyWatch day :-)
Kerri: Maybe a Sugar Maple, but I've never been sure what kind of maple that one is. I think all the maples have similar flowers. The leaves on it change color in the fall mostly out on the tips, but not as brightly as a lot of the Sugar Maples that I've seen elsewhere.
I especially love the flowers on the blooming tree. So enjoyable ... Many thanks!
Great photos Mary and lovely to see spring springing up....

Country Dreaming: Thanks!
Sandy: Thanks!
Don: Will be checking for news on your blog!
