I've fallen behind on posting photos recently so here is some catch up.
We had a good crop of camas lilies and bluebells along the west bay walkway.
The dandelions come out so early they're already going to seed.
I won't inflict too many reflection photos on you. I'm always trying to capture interesting patterns.
Deadnettle is invasive, but it has cute little flowers if you look close.
A cooperative hummingbird for a change. It didn't sit still for long, but it kept returning to the same perch. And I managed to catch the light for some color.
The spring wild roses.
A great blue heron in it's breeding plumage
Our spring visit to Butchart Gardens was a bit past the prime of the tulips, but there's never a bad time to go.
I managed to find a few critters.
I found this interesting seedpod in the parking lot. I think it's from an American Sweetgum
The regular white chestnut tree flowers are hard to photograph (too white). The red ones are better, although I struggled with these ones because the wind was blowing them around.
For various reasons I haven't got out kayaking too much this spring yet. This harbor seal was a bit suspicious of me, but I kept my distance and it stayed out of the water.
No bald eagle in the usual tree, but this great blue heron was posed with the chestnut flowers in the background.
Canada Geese can be regarded as pests, but who can resist those fluffy babies (with mom watching over them).
And finally, a brief visit by a house finch.
