Here's what I found this week during a Second Look.
 |
| Daffodils |
 |
| Crocus, I think that's a flower in the middle of the leaves beginning emerge. |
 |
| Dried sedum |
 |
| Crossing juniper trunks |
 |
| Bone, My wild guess is that it is part of fox's pelvis. |

| Fungus |
 |
| Ivy |
 |
| I put orange slices out for the birds about a week ago, but Mr. Squirrel decided that it would be much easier to eat them from the ground. |
 |
| Maple tree buds. (That was really the color of the sky. It was raining.) |
Whoa - I'm greatly impressed by the bone ID.
ReplyDeleteWell, I've published on the internet, so it must be true.
DeleteDaffodils and crocus coming up! You lucky duck! I'm longing for spring flowers here. Soon, very soon. I found a primrose in the spring garden about to open it's blossoms, then the freeze hit us. :(
ReplyDeleteSoon they will be brown because the cold weather will freeze them.
DeleteI went outside yesterday to see if any of our bulbs were starting to grow. Either they are smart enough to wait a bit or the animals got to them, the ground doesn't look disturbed so I'm guessing it wasn't warm enough, long enough for them. Love the bone.
ReplyDeleteI saw a few daffodils nibbled on, but mostly that is one thing that the deer and squirrels will leave alone. The poor daffodils are going to be in shock as the winter storm moves in tomorrow.
DeleteI love those green shoots coming up :) Do you get some of them that flower, or do they all get frozen?
ReplyDeleteThe tops of these will turn brown and be dormant again until April. Then they will grow some more and bloom. That's the daffodils, actually. The crocus are one of the first plants to bloom, and while they may turn brown with the frosts, we should see them blooming in March. With a warm winter, we may actually see them in late February.
DeleteWe've got a few brave shoots peeking through too. It's gone very chilly again though, so they might be regretting it.
ReplyDeleteYea, I think they will be regretting it.
