Oh it was a glorious morning as I rose to view the gold in the treetops which morphed into amazing cloud formations high above touched by the rising sun!

Back to the sunrise and the arising cloud formations making for some fantastic scenes - I was awe struck gazing at the sight above me and all around me! And so happy I got up to take some photos!

A little later in the morning I took my dog out for his walk and found a tamarack tree had fallen down across our lane but was hung up on the golden willows so we could walk under it. there had been a lot of trees coming down in this area with a few wet years having them growing in standing water then we had some strong winds which toppled them over. but there is regenation of new species like willow, red osier dogwood and mountain ash which seem to fair better in moist conditions.

Our lane way is very lush with all the rain fall and so was the hill top with all the fresh new growth - oh how I love Spring!

On the way home I spied some magpies in the field and was able to get a close up as it watched me and also as it took off. They usually take off once they spy me but this one was far enough away that I didn't frighten him the same. I used my zoom to get a closer shot. I think they are beautiful birds with their long tail feathers!

The other new bird I saw was the house wren. I had heard it's beautiful cheery song then got a closeup as it sang from a fence board.
