Hooded Merganser

Hooded Merganser

I found these ducks to be flighty.  I did not get a shot while they were on the pond.  They didn't give me much time.  Once they were above the tree level, my auto focus could grab their silhouette.  These shots have lots of chromatic aberration lots of noise because of the low light and my less than perfect long lens.  I will keep watching for another opportunity.

I don't like finding the geese on the pond in the morning because they tend to make the ducks, if there are any, nervous.

Mulitflora Rose

Multiflora Rosa

This plant, the Multiflora Rose, also got an early start this season.  We are expecting frost tonight as I write this.  I don't know what will be the effect on all the plants now growing.

Mining Bee

Mining Bee

This is the first year that I can remember when our weeping cherry tree bloomed as early as the Cherry Festival in Washington, D.C.  It was in full bloom for two or three days during which time the bees had a feast.  There where many more Honey Bees than Mining Bees.

This is one of the sights for which I look to tell me spring is on the way.

This is the next stage.  It is called a catkin.

Water Strider

Water Strider

The Water Striders have been quite active with the warm weather which has now left.  I liked the way this shot shows how the surface tension of the water supports it.
