Thursday Thirteen

Pictures from past Aprils - and one from today.

This tom turkey was out front this morning. The wind kept ruffling his feathers (2020)
2.

A redbud from 2019

A dogwood from 2019. They are not yet in full bloom.
4.

A cardinal from 2018.
5.

A newborn calf in 2017.
6.

A bucolic setting in 2016. The tree to the left is no longer standing; it's an ash that the emerald ash borer killed. We had to cut it down.
7.

A white squirrel from 2015.
 
8.

A pileated woodpecker from 2014.

9.
Forsythia from 2014. It's already bloomed out and gone this year.

The hayfield full of mustard grass, 2014.

Canadian Geese on the pond, 2014.

We had a little snow on April 4, 2013. The blue spruce in the foreground is another tree that died last year.

A large area of trillium, 2012. The landowner cut trees later that year and the trillium has died out.

Thursday Thirteen is played by lots of people; there is a list here if you want to read other Thursday Thirteens and/or play along. I've been playing for a while and this is my 651st time to do a list of 13 on a Thursday. Or so sayth the Blogger counter, anyway.

  4. That's too bad about the lost trillium and the trees. I love the sight of wild mustard. Also the taste of it sauteed with garlic and a splash of soy sauce. Yummm, it must be time for a meal. :-)
