We had beautiful sunny skies for our trip to Tennessee last Sunday.

The boat with its barges is the "Olive Parker" owned by Parker Towing Company of Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

Happy Friday!

The Mourning Dove, Zenaida macroura, is the most common Dove in North America. We put sunflower seed on the ground to lure them close enough to get a photo. The flowers are wild violets.

I hope you are having a good week!

Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, March 2023

The 15th of each month is Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day hosted by Carol at May Dreams Gardens.

Here in the northeast corner of Mississippi, March began with rain, rain and more rain. Today is sunny, but rain is in the forecast again for Friday.

Our Pear Trees are blooming!

Most of the Daffodils bloomed in February, but we still have a few today.

Another February bloomer, now in March, the Hellebores are beginning to lose their color.

The Flowering Almond, a small shrub, is just beginning to open its buds.

The Spirea blooms look like tiny roses!

Spring Beauty is a tiny wildflower.

Wild Violets are beginning to pop up under the pear trees.

My Buckeyes are budding. Their tubular blooms are a favorite of the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds that hopefully will be here by the first of April.

The Maple Tree buds may not qualify as blooms, but they are so pretty that I wanted to include them!

Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

Mallards

Pickwick, Tennessee, USA, March 7, 2023
I know Mallard Ducks are very common birds and are considered to be an invasive species in some places, but I could not resist getting a photo of them doing their one-leg balancing act!

I hope you are having a good week!
