Swamp Spring

This lovely box turtle newly emerged from hibernation, crawled away from his winter home, still sleepy.

A tiny painted turtle having a look around.

 

A frog just up from the mud.

Lots of mating activity.

Watercolor Wednesday

Yes, you see a little white watercolor. Couldn’t help myself;)

A sweet goose couple is nesting in the same spot again this year, center stage, in The Great Swamp.  Literally, a less than five minute sketch from beginning (below) to end (above). An effort to capture a bit of her grace.
