Join Nature Notes Tuesday at 12:00 am EST to Friday at 11:00 pm EST. More information can be found at the top of the blog on a separate page, but it really is easy. What are you or have you seen and enjoyed in nature? It can be from your own backyard, the local park, out on a hike or anywhere. What plants and animals catch your interest? Do you garden? Have you read a good book on nature? Write a blog post with a photo, a story, a poem, anything goes because I love to see what Mother Nature is up to in your area. Please submit one blog post per week and link back to nature notes in some way.

Still cold and still getting snow, but the pond ice is melting in spots..


Nature walks are wonderful. But you don’t have to travel to special location to enjoy Mother Nature. There is so much to see in your own neighborhood or even in your own back or front yard. Get a guide-book of the wildlife in your area and learn the calls of birds and frogs and toads. So many times I hear a bird that lets me know what I am looking for in the trees.
I wish you’d get Spring for real and not just on the calendar.
Happy Spring, Michelle! Thanks for hosting every week
It’s funny how ducks can find the littlest bit of melted ice to swim on the water. I’m sure spring is just around the corner for you 🙂
see my blog for waterfalls from all our rain in the desert…
I like the birds flying in formation from last week. And gorgeous ducks. That green on the males is radiant!
Oh how I wish I had that pond!….:)JP
Michelle – birds of a feather flock together! Adorable raft of ducks!
What a wonderful group of ducks, Michelle! I hope Spring doesn’t tarry any longer to reach your part of the world. We are awaiting for Autumn to settle in.
Lovely group of ducks! I hope spring is on its way!
