"Spring Robin" - Postcard

This week's Sunday Postcard Art theme was "Spring".

Spotting the "first" Robin of the season is one of my signs that Spring is here, where I live in Connecticut, US. Some years, I have seen the "first" one in early to mid February. This year, I didn't see one until the Ides of March (March 15, 2026). This season's Winter has been particularly harsh here.

I created this using GIMP 2.10.38.

The vintage images are from an Internet search. (See the side of my blog for links.)

Featured in the weekly sampler.

"Spring Daffodils" - Postcard

This week's Sunday Postcard Art theme was "Favourite Flowers" in "celebration of mother's (it's Mother's day in the UK)".

I used flowers that are the first signs of Spring where I live in the US. Daffodils and Crocuses are the first to appear, and they can survive under snowfall. A few weeks later, Bleeding Hearts start growing, but they can be damaged if frosts, freezing rain, etc. occur.

I thought the trees had a stark, spooky look to them. There were also black leaves on the ground nearby. The area looked peaceful and beautiful.

I took these photographs through my house window this past week, so they're not the best quality.

This Canada Goose pair showed up in my yard unexpectedly. They even walked around like they were lost, trying to figure out where the rest of their fellow geese were. The last photo could be captioned, "We're out of here!" They flew away shortly afterwards.

There are many Canadian Geese in this part of Connecticut, but my yard isn't the type of area where they like to congregate, so I'm not sure what these two were thinking. The yellow bushes in the background are forsythia. I should've taken photos of their flowers when they were at their peak.
