Gray squirrel inhabiting natural environs & flaunting that fluffy tail & those pink toe beans.

Surprisingly (even to me), this is my 1st squirrel photo of the yr. Guess I've just been chatting them up every time I see them rather than photographing them . Kinda good weird, no?

I'm finding flowering quince (like these buds from this past Saturday) is easier to ID this yr compared to the last few despite the fact that there are few flowers so far.

There's nothing quite like that shade of reddish-peach.

Photograph of a cluster of flowering quince bush (per ID app) buds attached to brown branches with out of focus branches and indistinct greens in the background. The buds have just started to open so the protective sepals have burst to reveal the tops of the still closed peach-red petals.

Taken a lot of photos of the same subjects over the yrs. When I don't see/photograph a particular subject one yr, I miss it . Next yr I get anxious about it & make specific plans to seek it out & enjoy its company again like these Rhododendrons next to the local public library.

Just opened, my daffodilies are looking fine and frilly

Photograph of a daffodil flower with out of focus green foliage, flowers and a grey wall in the background. This variety of daffodil has six yellow, kite-shaped petals that radiate from an orange-yellow central corona or trumpet which is essentially a cup structure with a frilly ridge at the opening. Since the petals are behind the corona, when viewing the bloom head on it looks like six triangles surrounding a frilly cup. The interior contains yellow stamens with yellow anthers and a yellow pistil with a yellow stigma.

Black and white photograph of a tangle of long conifer needles. The needles extend from a hidden branch and droop down upon each other similar to the strands of string mop. There is a single water droplet stretched between two needles in the center right frame.

Photograph of a pair of crocuses sprouting amid last year's brown fallen leaves. This crocus variety has yellow, teardrop-shaped, overlapping petals. The petals are curved, conical in shape similar to a tulip but with a soft pointed end and have yellow-orange stamens and a yellow-orange pistil. Crocuses have grass-like foliage often with thin white stripes down the center of each blade.

My friend's magnolia is on the verge.

Photograph of the exterior of a partially open pink saucer magnolia flower with out of focus magnolia flower buds, branches, and indistinct browns in the background. This variety of magnolia has 7-9 pink petals that radiate from and cup the cone-shaped reproductive structures. The flowers are attached to branches via a short stem and the flowers bloom before the tree begins producing leaves.

Here's another shot of that lovely liverwort from yesterday (previous post). I took this with my 200-500mm wildlife lens. Gonna try to get back to #ClearCreekTrail with the macro lens so I can get closer/better detail.

Photograph of three liverwort plant (Anemone hepatica) blooms atop long stems that emerge from the detritus next to a tree trunk that is covered in patches of green moss. The species has brown-purple, lobed leaves that, in this case, are nit visible. Its flowers top long, purple, hairy stems and are composed of purple-green sepals that support six pale purple to white petals that radiate from a center with white stamens and anthers and a green pistil.

Popping in from hiatus to post this beauty. This is liverwort (Anemone hepatica) & it's one of my absolute favorites. I look for it in early #spring on #ClearCreekTrail. Usually find 1-2 plants but this yr found a whole patch.

Photograph of a liverwort plant (Anemone hepatica) with seven open or partially opened blooms atop long stems emerging from amid last year's fallen leaves. The species has brown-purple, lobed leaves that, in this case, are covered by fallen leaves. Its flowers top long, purple, hairy stems and are composed of purple-green sepals that support six pale purple to white petals that radiate from a center with white stamens and anthers and a green pistil.

In from hiatus just to post this pic of a native plant called prairie smoke (Geum triflorum) that just started producing blooms in my garden. B4 opening the flower turns upright. When one opens I'll post a pic.

Closeup photograph if a prairie smoke (Geum triflorum) flower bud amid fern-like green foliage. Prairie smoke produces pink-maroon, bell-shaped buds that hang down from pink-maroon stems. At this stage, the pink-maroon sepals completely enclose the flower's interior.
