We usually get at least a couple of warm days in March where we can sit in the sun out among the snow banks sipping a cold beer basking in the promise of spring.

Not this year.

Today is going up to plus 8 Celsius and sunny. Maybe today. The beers lie in wait.

Here is a series I put together from the last few days. Just anxious to use it so I don't lose it!


Window Plant










Garden Plant










Birds at the Feeder







Doggie Portraits
Old Dreamer



Trip the Poser



Misty and her favourite toy



Thanks for looking...
Here comes the sun!!

Nice gallery, love the doggie portraits

And I'm glad to see that I'm not the only crazy person in Ontario taking pictures of my interior plants because the awful white stuff and the cold won't go away.

Cheers from one of your northern neighbour.

Bright, colourful, very pleasant on the eyes. Thanks for sharing Tess.

Great series, Tess! We're having lovely weather now - temps in the mid 20sC (mid 70sF), but we'll be envying you come August.

your birds look cold & fed up! Brrrrrr. Dreamer looks like he's had enough as well, hope your spring arrives soon, I like your first shot, some nice light you captured & composition is great.
cheers

Fine series, Tess, wonderfully captured, cropped and composed, as usual.
I really enjoy the motion-blur on the OOF bird hovering above the feeding. That little section of the shot, by itself is wonderful. But bear in mind, I like both Bokeh shots and motion blur. Just an idea.
I really hope the weather breaks for you, cabin fever is not fun. Sunny and windy here, with those dynamic deep-blue skies we get on clear days.
Where's my reflector? Got the macro, see ya!
Fgaudet, beautiful close-ups, fine colors and cropping, too. Hope you get outside soon, also!

Thank you Cee Cee! Yes, we are all anxious for some warmth. We got a bit yesterday afternoon and the world is a much happier place today

Thank you so much for the great comments and suggestions Ron! I too love that photo and I actually spent an afternoon trying to get the perfect OOF image. I have at least 200 to delete. ... Hope you had a great afternoon

Hope that warmer weather up that way isn't an April Fools joke on you and Norm, nice series Tess.

Great shots Tess.
