Harry's Back! It's Really Spring!

It really must be spring. Harry has returned.

Harry the Heron made his first appearance at the Ditch about a week ago.

Well, his first appearance to me, at least.

He was hungry.

Very hungry.

And oh, so alert!

Welcome back, Harry!

It's good to have you in the 'hood!

Other signs of spring... newly decorated eggs...

Flower shopping before Easter with my friend Jan...

Get a look at these!

And Easter flowers on my table.

Yes, it really is spring!

    I loved the spring flower photos.

  20. I always walk in the park close to my home here in Denmark, and yesterday I saw the heron here too. This one was also very alert, but in time it will get use to all the people in the park. I hope it will find a mate soon... ;-)
