Spring has arrived here in N.E. Oklahoma, as we climb out of a mild winter.

Spring is here with flowers and migrating birds showing up all over!

Jonquils are some of the earliest flowers:

They are bi-color blooms that are particularly attractive!

And:

The jonquils are a Mediterranean daffodil, that were brought here for the colors they show in the spring!

The hyacinth are also here early:

They show their colors in a compound flower head, ignoring temperature variations. This is one of my favorite flowers!

When I stopped at my quiet place, Canadian geese were migrating north:

I had to get pictures from a distance:

They are wild, and wary; but beautiful!

I had to sneak up behind a cedar tree to get close enough for any pictures:

It looks fairly close here, but he was sure watching me!

Actually, it was a lot further away that nt looks like in the picture above:

He watched while she ate, and decided I wasn't a threat; so I was able to get more pictures!

This is a place I go to frequently, because it is so quiet and relaxing! I take a lot of pictures here, so I can share the restoration I find.

Earlier there were Drake's on the pond:

It was sundown and there wasn't enough light to see their metallic blue heads.

But the sundown made up for it:

This is my favorite time on golden pond, because it really is golden! I love the colors.
