I was hoping to photograph the aurora borealis at the cabin last night, but the northern lights never showed up. It was a beautiful evening and I was able to capture the stars and their reflection on the calm waters instead.
It was a perfect way to relax after a busy week – listening to the frogs and loons and watching the sky.
I spotted these bush cherry blossom buds from the kitchen window last night just before dark. Our spring has been delayed in Duluth by our “colder by the lake” weather recently. It was nice to finally see a sure sign of spring.
This little sparrow didn’t let the terrible April weather bring him down. He was busying singing outside our dining room window despite the rain/sleet/snow that kept falling on his head. The weather even caused schools to be closed which made for two very happy kids.
The wintry weather brought a constant stream of birds to the feeder. Even the elusive cardinal that I’ve been trying to get a decent photo of waited on the grapevine for his turn to have some lunch.
I’m still waiting for the opportunity to capture the female cardinal. We have seen her several times, but she doesn’t stay long enough to pose for a picture.
