Ice inspectors doing their jobs …..

This is MY post …

Right!
Pileated Woodpecker inspecting its new cavity…

And the first wasp of the season …

Hug tintin for me
Thanks, Kathy!
I’m happy that you are enjoying the approach of spring as seen through my old eyes. TinTin and I have been getting out in the car every day. While we cruise the backroads she pokes her head out the starboard window to check for wildlife, while I monitor the port side. She is really doing well and is busy training her master.
I’ll bring her over for a visit one of these days — for some hugs.
