    The black-eyed Susans remain one of the most persistent and long-lived flowers in our back yard. Long after daffodils, mountain laurel, and gladiolus blooms are gone, the yellow conflower flourishes. #BloomScrolling #BlackeyedSusan #Coneflower #Flowers #TrumbullCT #Connecticut

    We have a walnut tree in our yard - planted by the previous owners - and normally walnuts start to fall in early September. We are already seeing them, and they are BIG. #Walnuts #Nuts #TrumbullCT #Connecticut

    We had TWO foxes in our backyard last night! I am thinking this is Victoria and her son or daughter. #Fox #Foxes #SuburbanWildlife #TrumbullCT #Connecticut

    We awakened to a winter wonderland of frost this morning. Ice crystals glimmering and gleaming in the sun. Probably for the last time this season. #Frost #Frosty #SurpriseWinterMorning #TrumbullCT #Connecticut

    We tossed some cashews out into the back yard and it turned into an exciting. The crows gobbled them up, but the squirrels buried them (when burying a nut, apparently SMOOSHING your face into the ground is required). #SuburbanWildlife #Squirrel #Crow #TrumbullCT #Connecticut

    Catch a female cardinal in the right light, and she is just as colorful and fascinating as her red-hued husband. #BirdWatching #Cardinal #Bird #TrumbullCT #Connecticut

    It’s a wonderful time of year to be a crocus! Chilly enough to ensure you have the garden all to yourself, but warm and sunny enough to joyfully open the flowers every day. #Flowers #SpringFlowers #Crocus #Crocuses #TrumbullCT #Connecticut

    The common starling can be frustrating due to their squawk and tendency to swarm bird feeders. But their feathers under the right light are prismatic. #BirdWatching #Starling #Bird #TrumbullCT #Connecticut

    There are many flaws to this photo, but it is so hard to get a nice shot of a cardinal in flight that I had to share it. #BirdWatching #Cardinal #Bird #TrumbullCT #Connecticut

    The Spring Flowers are *loving* this weather. Daffodils, hyacinths, and crocuses are bursting with color. #SpringFlowers #Flowers #Flower #TrumbullCT #Connecticut

    The daffodils in our garden are tiny but radiant. They declare their joy at the arrival of Spring for all to see. (The big ones will come later.) #SpringFlowers #Flowers #Daffodils #Daffodil #TrumbullCT #Connecticut

    Blue hyacinth flowers. (Yes, they are technically purple, but the color is classified as blue.) #SpringFlowers #Flowers #Hyacinths #TrumbullCT #Connecticut

    It’s appropriate that our first rabbit sighting of the season should be Easter weekend! #EasterBunny #bunny #rabbit #TrumbullCT #Connecticut
