I
have a new part-time job: Tree Watcher. It is akin to paid chocolate tasting,
kitten handling, and seashell collecting in terms of desirability. I'm glad I'm
oldish because every year brings a particular acuity to nature and wildlife,
fresh eyes, and the ability to travel more thoroughly. Go big or stay home!
Follow my feet…

St Croix Falls. Again.

Swoon-worthy swans near Mankato.
P.S. From now on, you'll find the various link parties on my sidebar.

Isn't spring glorious? Being a tree watcher is a good profession, Sharon. This month I have been a weather watcher.
I would love to travel somewhere but at least here in FL there's lots to see in day trips! I love those occupations....I think I'll steal that list! heehee!
What a great job. You will never tire of that role. Colourful and beautiful photos.
Wow! I have filled my eyes with so much eye candy that I fear they will explode! Well done, Sharon. I love it all and will take it easier next time and not take in to some at a time. :-)
Trees refresh the soul is my motto. Great post.
Sharon - ok, how did you get that job, and where do I apply? I must say, you are doing an INCREDIBLE job. Ask for a pay raise; I would! Eye candy abounds in this post. I loved the St. Croix falls photo with all the little tussocks in the stream. And those Canada geese parents have their work cut out for them! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!
What spectacular colors! You really captured spring.
Love the swans. In my year plus of birding i haven't seen swans yet.
the water falls and cherry blossom are really spectacular
Spring is a fantastic time to get out and snap some pictures. Great photo of the sandhill cranes. I'm glad you included the map. I was wondering where these photos were taken.
Wonderful Spring! And you made a great career choice for your advancing years (as I am probably old enough to be your mother I can say that). The trees and greenery are fabulous, but those gorgeous grape hyacinths were pure eye candy! Your "backyard" is a pretty good choice for travel this time of year (and great for your new job as well!))
What fabulous spring images!! They are so nice to see on my wintry morning.
So happy to see your link at 'My Corner of the World' this week!
What a beautiful nature post! Have a great week!
I'm in love with your pictures. They are so bright and vibrant and beautiful.
That's a highly desirable part time job, and you have some real beauties to look at! Gorgeous photos and lovely blooms.
Greetings and Salutations! I am an old school bike rider. What are all those contraptions on your bike? Spring is glorious! Thank you for sharing what is happening in your life. Love it!
Hey, hey, hey, I want a tree watcher gig!!! Does it pay, I'm already watching skies. Is that an ebike!!
