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
