You may sometimes see a bee on the back of a flower like this one. It is piercing the stem to get the nectar without pollinating the flower!

I often drive by this hilltop pasture where several horses live, but this is the first time that one stood at the fence and waited for me to take its photo!

Wild Turkeys, Meleagris gallopavo, are large game birds native to North America.

They are ground foragers, eating acorns, seeds, berries, and small insects. When startled they run or fly, and they can swim if necessary.

Have a wonderful day!

After being hit with snow and ice in February, the Daffodils are making a magnificent comeback!

Here are just a few of the different colors I have.

I am sorry I do not remember their names.

Hyacinth

Spring Beauty, Claytonia virginica, is a tiny wildflower whose colors range from white to dark pink.

I think this is Flowering Quince.

The Forsythia is beginning to bloom.

And one of our pear trees is blooming.

Now for a look at things to come...

My Red Buckeyes have buds! Buckeyes are shrubs native to the southeastern United States and very attractive to Hummingbirds. Last year I saw our first Hummingbird here in north Mississippi on March 28. Check this map to follow their Spring migration, and get your feeders ready for them!

Here in Mississippi we have a new state flag! Mississippi artists were invited to submit designs. Then a Flag Commission selected several designs to go on the ballot in the general election last November. And here is the winner! The Magnolia is our state tree and state flower.

It took several months to get enough flags made, but now we are beginning to see them proudly flying beneath the US flag.

I hope you have a wonderful week!
