2014 by the French Broad River

 Tuesday sharing- 

Living in Black Mountain and Western North Carolina...





Two little lovelies, the bright blue and the strange purple fuzzy leaf with tiny pale violet flowers

A strange deciduous tree with tiny pine cones, what is it? (Thank you Tom, it's now known as a Larch!)

Our common violet
A couple of Canada Geese by the French Broad River



the two pairs of geese had goslings around this time last year...but apparently don't even have a nest at this time, since they both are sunbathing.

The same park last year with tiny little fluffs of yellow which proud parents shooed away from us.


 On US 251 between Marshall and Asheville, NC, this little park has a sweet picnic area, shared with geese this time of year.


Today's quote:

There’s an intimate connection between what we eat and how we feel.

May Day or Beltaine

Happy May Day everyone!
Jump that bonfire!  Gather and rejoice that spring has sprung.  Sing and dance!

And remember our feathered friends are doing their part to enjoy the new year of growth and fertility.


More photos of mama and papa Canada Geese and goslings soon!  Just figure all the yellowish blobs among the grass are the 7 babies.
