Welcome to Saturday Sparks 659!
Starting off today's party with some late winter guests!
Our world is still covered in snow, save for this one small patch of exposed grass.
These horned larks were foraging the spot as the falling snow threatened to hide their discovery.
Sleeping fields are a common habitat for them in winter and this is the start of their nesting season.
I am hoping to perhaps see little ones in our future.
If I do, know that I will share.

What cute little birds. We are finally having some sunny days. So looking forward to Spring. Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI think so too, Pam! 😊 Seeing any sort of wildlife brightens my day, especially this time of year! Enjoy your sun filled days ~ Suzanne.
DeleteSuzanne, I love to watch the birds, they make me happy. I plant Cosmos in spring just to lure the tiny finches to my garden. Thank you for hosting each week! I am so glad you liked my happy accident from last week.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate you sharing my bag in the feature.

Happy to feature you, Lisa! love a good Happy Accident'. Enjoy your feathered friends ~ Suzanne.
DeleteWe had an extremely grey winter and it was cold. But suddenly that changed this week and today it is 18°C! That is warm for this time of year. But it still can start snowing in the next weeks.
ReplyDeleteSame here, Moois van mie! A random warm day after a long and dreary winter is a welcome surprise. Enjoy ~ Suzanne.
DeleteTruly spectacular features! Thanks so much for hosting, I hope your spring shines bright! We had quite a cold winter here in Texas, but sunny days are here now, and planting the garden started today as well. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Melynda! Speaking from experience, a cold winter makes spring that much sweeter. Enjoy every minute of your garden start. All my best ~ Suzanne.
DeleteSuzanne, thank you for hosting. I love the photo you included of the birds. I can't wait for spring. My tulips and a few other flowers have started to emerge. For now, I patiently wait. I hope that you have a lovely day. ♡
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stephanie! Enjoy your blooming bulbs and yes, patiently wait for the upcoming spring show. Have a great week ~ Suzanne.
DeleteDon't you wonder what those sweet birds think when a spring snowstorm turns their world topsy turvy? I often do! Thanks for the party, Suzanne! I love all the green and St Paddy's day inspiration I found here!
ReplyDeleteYes, I do wonder Laura! How they survive the bitter cold winter (and this year has been brutal) is beyond me. And yet, somehow they do. Glad you found inspiration from the party. Wishing you a sun filled week ~ Suzanne.
DeleteThank you Suzanne for putting together this awesome space for us! Wishing you a week filled with joy and success. Love your features

ReplyDeleteThanks, Pam! It's so nice that we are starting to see some of our wilds come back. Your lovely floral arrangements are so uplifting. I am so sorry that you were battling pneumonia, but so glad that you are on the mend. Stay well, my friend ~ Suzanne.
