The Little Nuthatch

I love this time of year! Cuteness.

I am currently enjoying the beautiful weather and SPRING of the North Carolina mountains! I arrived on Friday afternoon. I can't believe it's already Tuesday and I am halfway through this trip! Sad! Spring is in full swing here... flowers, birds, butterflies, and all sorts of things buzzing around...  

Lots of Northern Parulas around this week.

It's the season for wild blackberries! They are so delicious and fun to pick. I filled a pint today and there were still plenty left for this Catbird. There are lots of little creatures out there on the blackberry bushes.

I love the early morning. The light changes quickly, creating an array of beautiful effects and sparkles throughout that first hour of the day... The animals come out to the play, and the birds are singing... I t is the best time of day!
