Spring! Spring! Spring!

Our family has been loving the series "Life" narrated by Oprah.  It makes for great family TV especially on a Sunday afternoon.  We also love "Planet Earth".  I think it is so important to establish a love of nature with children.  There are so many electronic distractions for their generation.  There is such simple grandeur to be had from it and one really can't comprehend how amazing it is when we realize where it comes from and that it is not man made.  

I took these photos about 3 weeks ago just outside my back door.  It is so relaxing to be surrounded by a serene and mature yard. I have always marveled at Mother Nature.  I used to enjoy my early morning, 45 minute commute to school back in my college days when I was able to see the sunrise before those early 7 a.m classes.  

These photos were taken 24 hours apart.  I wish I had time stamped video documenting the buds to the blooms.  So amazing!  I love them. 

Tennessee and I love see our little birdie friends as well.  We are especially fond of the blue jay and the quail family. Below is a picture of our trees and one of the many birds we watch. 

I really do need Photoshop, but I think you can still see the beauty in the nature.
