New Life Spring Time in North Dakota



Spring is in full bloom here in ND.   I have talked a lot in the past blogs about how I really love the newness of spring.   It really is my favorite part the year.   This year here in ND has been a really nice experience even though it is so far behind SC and the east coast I’m used too.   

This spring what has made a big impact was seeing process of baby geese being brought into the world.   It was so fun to watch the geese making their nests and then seeing that they laid eggs in them.   How the spouses were so protective on the mother goose and nest.   I was able to interact with this pair in a really unexpected way.   The pair were friendly enough that I was able to sit right next to the nest.  Up until her babies hatched I visited her often.   She would show off her eggs like a proud mother. 
When the babies hatched they were so adorable.  I had a great time taking photos of them.   It is just cool seeing new life making its way in the world!
One of the other things I really enjoy is the tree in bloom.   The pink colors are just so wonderful.  It just makes me smile.   One of the thing I miss from my old job was the traveling up and down the east coast.   It always seemed to give a extended spring time.   So this year I tried to take full advantage of spring, well and after the winter I was ready to see some green too.

Here is a few photos that I have captured over the last weeks.
