Spring flowers and a Chickadee

lovely spring beauties

one of our first flowers

usually in white(above)

sometimes pink:

do you know what these are?

(above)

I was thinking phlox, but i am not sure. 

the lovely pasque flowers are here!

I love this little ones hairdo

funny how feathers get ruffled

Lovely spring day to you!

Grizzly

yesterday

a bear, grizzly bear walked through....

I was fairly far from it

it stood up to have a good look at me

or smell of me?

the bear was hunting a ground squirrel

it circled this leaning tree

dug at the earth

stood up and pounced:

it caught the ground squirrel (gopher) 

and 

sauntered off into the woods to eat in private

~

one never knows what one will see in the woods
