My wife and I spent Easter at her family farm.

We have 80 acres of mostly aspen parkland

that we purchased for a cabin.

This trip we laid out where the posts for the

cabin would go with her brothers. Actual

construction should start in July. I had hoped

for a few shots of birds and maybe a wild flower.

There were no flowers, it was pretty brown yet

but I did see an number of butterflies talk

about tough bugs. There were small flocks

of robins moving thru, hawks and some warblers

but it was pretty quiet. The ducks and geese were

back but a lot of the sloughs are still frozen.

These shots are from our property. We have

some nice views and a fair bit of water.

I will be posting more for the trip in

the next week or two.

"The trees that have it in their pent-up buds

To darken nature and be summer woods --

Let them think twice before they use their powers

To blot out and drink up and sweep away

These flowery waters and these watery flowers

From snow that melted only yesterday."
