Spring In The Tundra

Spring has finally come to Iowa. I hope to have more spring pics to publish after Mother's Day.
Our neighbor's Bradford Pear is beautiful. All the pear trees are blooming right now, and there are quite a few in the neighborhood.

Our bleeding heart finally plumped out. Funny flowers: they come out like butterflies from the chrysalis, all wrinkly and small. Then, they slowly inflate.I was pulling this thing out the 1st 2 years we were here, thinking it was a weed. Silly girl. It finally dawned on me last year that the leaves looked a lot like bleeding heart leaves and to leave it alone for a season.

A pair of American Robins redecorated the old nest in the serviceberry tree. The only reason I could take this pic is that serviceberries won't bloom probably until next week. When they do, the tree will be covered. Great camo for this momma robin and the eggs she is hatching.
