These little yellow flowers eventually flower profusely, making the woods look like they are carpeted in sunshine. I do not know the name of this flower. Leave a comment if you can identify it.
Trees are beginning to bud, and this one also had a wonderful scent.
I think this is a magnolia tree. It was gorgeous. It almost looked like snow was on the branches, and here and there were blossoms which had opened.
This is a macro of the blossoms on my Japonica bush outside my kitchen window. The scent is very sweet and attracts lots of bees. I just got this 100mm f2.8 macro lens and have been having lots of fun with it. It's challenging to use, and I seem to throw away more photos than I save.
Here is one bee on the Japonica caught with my macro lens.
A certain harbinger of spring -- crocus!

Canada goose. I was thrilled with the sharp focus. I shot this one from my car!
