Dawn...

It is no longer pitch black when I wake in the morning...
Slowly the light creeps in...
The promise of a day without rain...
 There is a definite hint of the seasons changing...
The last few mornings I've even heard the spring coming...
They're back!
The Red Winged blackbirds.
Staking out their territories by the little swamp...
Singing their hearts out...
Knowing that the work has begun.

Lovely photos.

You in the cold north especially welcome the return of light and spring, and I am happy for you!

Blessings.

Great shots - we had a bit of a red sunrise today - but not this beautiful and the bird shots - great!
