Yesterday, I photographed birds of all colors, shapes and sizes—Spring migration.

The last bird, a Common Grackle, is known for being loud, boisterous and common.

Not just black, but earthy brown, cerulean blue and shimmering violet.

Common is beautiful.

Ask the Grackle.

We go out searching for that special bird—a warbler or an oriole, elusive and beautiful—when right in front of us is a fire that burns bright red, calling out, 'Here I am!' #birdsky #birds #bird

We put this orange up for migrating grosbeaks, orioles, warblers and more. This Cardinal was all in. I love the colors in this photo. #birds #birdsky #nature

It seemed like nothing was happening…and it was mighty slow, but after six hours of patience, I ended up with some pretty special bird photos…and a bobcat! See comments for photos of bobcat! Quintana, TX. #birdsky #springmigration #photosky

Last year, I planted a “Peggy Martin” Rose near our front door.

Life has been so insane that I didn’t notice until today that it is blooming.

Last year, I planted a Peggy Martin Rose near our front door. Life has been so insane that I didn’t notice until today that it is blooming. If you don’t know about Peggy Martin Roses, they have quite the story! The Peggy Martin rose is a resilient, semi-thornless climbing rose known for its fragrant pink flowers and ability to survive harsh conditions. It's a symbol of renewal and regrowth after Hurricane Katrina, when it was one of only two plants to survive being submerged in salt water for two weeks. Seeing these blooms gives me a bit of hope for renewal and regrowth.

I had a bad fall in February and just learned from the MRI that I have a full-thickness tear and high-grade cartilage damage in my left knee. I’m hurting. I’ll find out what the plan of action is next week. I’ve been looking forward to photographing Spring Migration.😔 #birding #birds #naturalist
