wednesday
was warm
so i grabbed my sweet friend diana
and
took her to the zoo
most of the animals were still inside
but
the flamingos entertained us
then i took her to one of my favorite new places to walk
most of the trails
were still snow covered
and
our feet got wet and muddy
but
at this time of year
mud doesn't bother me
~much~
the birds
filled the trees with song
and
didn't seem to mind at all that we stopped to listen
the brilliantly green watercress
danced on the riverbeds
for us
while the snow in the background reminded us
that technically
spring doesn't begin until sunday
shhhh
don't tell mother nature she gave us a gift by letting spring visit early
~she might take it back~

happy weekend

Happy Weekend to you as well,

Too late! The secret's out!!! yippee!!
Beth, I love the flamingos, I thought they were more pink. what a lovely place for a walk and that watercress...the green just looks fabulous. have a great weekend.
I never knew that was watercress! I live in MO and I saw the same thing on a trail bike ride last weekend.
I remember wandering in that zoo when I was in college too! Nice memories.
Oh I love days like this. So special! I haven't seen watercress growing wild since I was a young girl. Gorgeous! Did you bring some home?
beautiful shots!!
I'll be the sillent one here when it comes to telling mother nature....
I can tell she's around the corner at your home.
Hugs D. good to see you had fun even with mud on your tires.
What a wonderful walk. Don't thes glimpses of spring give such a lift?! Gorgeous shots of the flamingo!!
So you have a ways to go until things begin to green up... It was 77 and totally sunny here today.. really too warm for March 18th.

I love the visual image of you and Diana taking a walk! Hope by now that snow is ALL gone!
Oh Beth...so lovely. I love flamingos!!
Sounds and looks like a great way to spend the day. Sunday, eh? Yay!
Those flamingos are so cool! The first picture is perfect! (:
Mums the word is right, because Mother Nature has known to change her mind even in April.
Love those flamingos-- The color is so happy.
Have a great weekend, xo jj
I'm not telling! It was another glorious day here. They say it will be cold again next week, but these last two days were enough nourishment to get me through...
Lovely post : )
Ah but we're so much closer than we were a few weeks ago :-) I smell it in the air!
Sometimes getting out-of-doors is just something you HAVE to do! I enjoyed your walk with your friend, simply by reading about it here. Thanks for sharing!___=^..^=___Kittie
So beautiful - thanks for taking me on your walk! :-)
lovely walking with you.
flamingos are so otherworldly wonderful.
Please lets stay on the good side of Mother Nature. Please.
I didn't realize flamingos had such goofy faces! :-) Wonderful shots!
Well - you've helped me decide - I'm planting some of that Cress in my stream this year!
I just love flamingoes. It amazes me how varied their coloring can be!
She sure took it back from us. We were all enjoying a warm, early spring. Now we have snow on the ground. What the heck??!?!?!!
