April 10th

Yesterday's shot was of this birdie that's been waking me up with his dawn chorus.......

The American Robin,much bigger than the robin we had in our garden back in England.Their song and size is similar to the blackbird,another garden bird from the UK.
I tend to only see these early in the morning when the light isn't great in my backyard and they hop around so much luckily he hopped into the sun and stood still for a second !

April 9th

My garden today,well the snow had gone but.....
No birds seemed to be coming to the feeder
No chippie and
Nothing is really sprouting from the ground yet !

I found this though..............

I thought it was really cool looking.
It's moss growing on the top of an old dead pine tree stump.

I'll be clicking away over the holiday weekend but probably won't have time to post them until Monday.

April 7th and 8th

I should also point out that I'm doing this challenge this month with my friend Patti ,here photo's are here.

Well here's today's and yesterdays photo's.

I hope I don't regret picking this one when it's only 8.15 am.........

This is the same bush as Saturday's photo only with snow not rain.Thought I'd get out there and take it before it melts,since I'm being optimistic for once and hoping all the nasty white stuff will be gone before tonight.

Yesterdays photo,April 7th........

If I stand on my property border in the back this is what I can see.Looks like I live in the middle of nowhere but we're just lucky in the fact the people behind own two plots and the second one is their garden.

April 6th

Another dull and rainy day,not very inspiring at all.

I ventured out in the brief lull in the rain and found this.......

New growth sprouting at the back of the garden.
You need to click on it to see it clearer.

April 3rd,4th and 5th

I'm playing catch up !

It wasn't raining yesterday,April 5th but it was cold and the only time I went outside was to find something to photograph.Decided on this,raindrops on one of the fir trees.

The raindrops were sparkling but I don't think it shows up here too well.

Saturday's shot,April 4th,well I had lots of chippie but decided it couldn't be the chippie show,so went with this one......

Another raindrop photo,just love them,sorry ! These are the bushes(Spiraea) outside the front of my house,taken early in the morning. I don't think you'll see it here,since I reduced the image but when I uploaded this I realised I'd also caught a spiderwebs glistening with rain too. Ok,if you click on it you can just see it !

Finally,Friday April the 3rd......I took a few photo's that day but it was rainy and dark and I wasn't happy with any of them so the best of a bad bunch was this slightly blurry Chippie,with protruding cheek.........

It's dark and dreary again today,who knows what I'll find to take...........where's chippie :)

April 2nd

Bright and sunny today so I ventured out beyond my deck to see what greenery I could find emerging from the snow.

Turns out not much !

The neighbour behind has more green then me.This is a welcome sight after months of white.

April 1st

Well Aprils rolled around sooner than I thought so I'll put the last few favourites to one side while I embark on A photo a Day for April.

This little fella has been zooming around the garden hoovering up left over seed like there's no tomorrow.......

Not the best quality as it's taken through the window.Glad I captured him early this morning because nothing else has inspired me today !
