Wet and Wild, First Signs of Spring

Things went from cold and below 40 to sunny and above 60 in no time. But for a few days in between we had a little bit of gentle April rain to bring us into the season. One afternoon in particular as the trees started to bud and spring made it's appearance there was a visitor in the maple tree out back!

So I made my way down to Charlestown Quononchotaug Beach, QEBA actually (Quonnie East Beach Assoc) where there was easy access to a quiet beach and some great...

This was one of the first really nice warm days of spring and I was so happy to get outside and enjoy the sun and warm air! I managed to finish up all my other tasks for the day and pack up my camera bag about an hour and a...
