Each spring there seems to be new birds visiting every single day. Over the last few weeks we have seen orioles, woodpeckers, catbirds, goldfinch, cardinals, a pheasant, turkey, geese, hummingbirds and more.

I put out some oranges, grape jelly, suet, bird seed and hummingbird nectar for my little visitors. Definitely a highlight during these crazy times with more time at home.

We have seen a lot more goldfinch this year.

I just love watching hummingbirds. We have two that are fighting over this feeder already so I ordered a few more feeders online.

Over the last few days I’ve set the camera out so it’s easier to grab and snap a few photos when I see something neat. The clouds have been pretty cool recently.

I love it when the sun is shining with dark storm clouds behind. The contrast makes for really great photos. This is the view from our front yard looking even more magical in this amazing light.

And then here are just a few things blooming in the garden.

This lazy group loves to lay in the sun in the yard.

I hope you are finding more time in the garden this year! Happy Gardening.
