I was wildflower hunting in the spring woods of Pennsylvania this week. Here are some of the pretty things I found. Click to enlarge.

 |
| Yellow trillium, also called yellow toad shade. |
 |
| Purple toad shade, also called little sweet Betsy. |
 |
| And the lovely trout lily, or yellow adder's tongue. |
 |
| This spring I am monitoring nest boxes at a local county park again. For the past several years, I've watched tree swallows like the one above, build nests and rear young. Click to enlarge. |
 |
| Before settling in, birds investigate the nest sites. Today this one landed on one of mine and then flew away. And then... |
 |
| This eastern bluebird showed up! Bluebirds also use these boxes, but I haven't so far had them use my boxes. I would love to photograph them nesting. |
 |
| Which will it be? Swallows or bluebirds? We will find out soon. |
 |
| I met this eastern cottontail rabbit on my street yesterday. Timely appearance, rabbit. May everyone's Easter be happy and peaceful. |
