Expecting good things (looking forward to spring) in the middle of winter

This is the itsy bitsy spider, building it's house on one of the first leaves of spring (because it's spring here already, pretty much). I know that looks like a fall colors leaf, but it's spring, for a pomegranate. Winter never lasts forever.

This is Indiana, who nearly died 6 months ago. I called her name, and she looked up so expectantly. Reminded me of the Jars of Clay song, "Call My Name."
This is another spring thing. It's a shoot on the new pear tree in the backyard (don't expect fruit--it's not filled with that spirit--it's an ornamental pear). But the shoot looked like a grouchy camel. Maybe it's not quite ready to be forced into spring just yet. Maybe it prefers hibernation. Some days, I can relate, but spring comes anyway, and that's probably, maybe, possibly, a good thing.

Zoo!

The new lens makes those pesky chain link fences between the photographer and the animal magically vanish.

Didn't know that till today.

Could be dangerous, at the zoo.

As for the bump on the beak of the pelican, ask Booyor.

No, not just a big house cat

Favorite!

All they need is a quarter...

Love the feet!

Other favorite! You can see it swallow.

and that's what some people don't understand..."

A puzzle!

That which was lost...

I FOUND IT!!

My much loved little Panasonic point-and-shoot camera has been found. I was literally on my way out the door to purchase it's replacement, because without a point-and-shoot camera, I would be almost utterly useless on the house-building trip.

Instead of buying a new camera, I have instead ordered a new battery for my old friend.

(I save 93%)

I'm also enjoying all the photos (most not taken by me) that were on the memory card. The camera was well-travelled in the time before it went missing.

Much rejoicing. :-)
