My buddy from the county arboretum emailed to say that the little Saucer Magnolia was starting to bloom, tiny little tree, more flowers than tree. Stuff is popping out of the ground everywhere you look, even saw the first Ladybug of the season.
When I got home I plopped down on the porch steps, looked up and a big Florida Cooter was crossing the driveway. It was still covered with sand, it's been buried and sleeping all winter. It's Spring, folks!

It’s warming up? Someone must be emitting more Deadly Demon CO2 somewhere.

Thank you, for the ping, but most of all sharing what you see with us.

I set the picture with the ladybug as my new wallpaper : )
To: SWAMPSNIPER
Love the ladybug shot! Did I tell you the spring peepers were out, croaking their little hearts out the 26th of Feb? They’ve been in and out since. Crazy weather—70 the 26th and 25 that night. We’re still on the seesaw, but the last few days have been gorgeous.

Beautiful pictures!
Here in Phoenix we’re doing 80’s already. I’ve got my iris’s coming up but no flowers, anyone know why?

When I got home I plopped down on the porch steps, looked up and a big Florida Cooter was crossing the driveway. I don't think we're thinking of the same thing.
To: martin_fierro
Yeah, well, I’m edgamacated, I always think in Latin! I don’t know what the origin of cooter is, could be native American.
Peninsula Cooter is easier to say than “Pseudemys floridana peninsularis”!

It was almost 70 degrees at my school today, and the co-eds were donning short sleeves and such, rather than bundling up for the cold. Yeah, it’s definitely spring.
