New Life And Regrowth - Homestead Photography
This is my entry to@ knowledge-seeker's Week #16 Of The Homestead Photography Contest. The theme is: 'New Life And Regrowth'.
The birds are singing their songs and doing their flirty courtship dances.
Chicks are peeping and the youngsters are learning how to fly with grace. Nests are being rebuilt and in the distance woodpeckers are busy knocking on trees while the owls are calling their distinctive hoot. It's really pretty awesome.
Keep a green bough in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come. Chinese Proverb
The tree buds are ready to spring open.
Soon the scent of lilacs will carry across the homestead with every breeze. It's small things like this that equal pure bliss.

A magical forest plant
I don't know what it is but can't wait to see it open up. What will it's flower look like. I've peeked in my books and haven't found a match yet.

It looks like you have a lot of new life on your homestead and you showed a little bit of everything. Great Job!
Love the bird one! A type of swallow, yes?
That last is a trillium, I think. Won't know what variety until it flowers.
Does trillium grow wild in the forest?
Yes, that's where that one came from.
how neat! Thanks for sharing. I'll be keeping an eye in it to see if the flower is alike.
I had 2 originally. The second one was white with red. I've forgotten both of the variety names now, as this was 25 years ago...
Did you transplant them to your garden? I've got to do some reading about them! :)
Yes, found them in the woods and transplanted them.
