Snow vector


Weather is a wonderful vector that snaps us out of our everyday daze. Suddenly life we didn't notice unfolds in front of our eyes and our hearts. Spring has been postponed here in the Pacific Northwest. These peach blossoms are a breath away from inviting the bees in for a taste. The neighbor's honeybees work inside and the Orchard Mason Bees find shelter in spots unbeknownst to me, and hopefully the hungry birds.
Goldfinches mottled with vibrant yellow and black gobble sunflower seeds alongside Pine siskins, House finches and Golden-crowned sparrows. Chickadees flit in and grab a seed, while Song sparrows hop and scratch on the ground.
