Yes there is a spring season in Florida...
Not only is it warming up,
But some plant life has bloomed...

Red bottlebrush is everywhere...

The yellow trumpet tree blossoms are short-lived,
Already wilting and falling...

Mama Muscovy and her two ducklings...
I hate to say it but this is a sad story...
Mama had four chicks when we first saw her
At a nearby park, but she went down to two
And then one...
Today, I saw no chicks but not sure I saw her..
I doubt at the fast rate they were disappearing
That the last one survived. :o(
I did see another Mama Muscovy
Yesterday in a mall parking lot,
She had five chicks.
I hope at least one survives!

Will be in the new house for about three weeks, and then...

Hi Jan. You are certainly seeing some different colourful blooms in Florida. Tough life for the young chicks at this time of their life but no doubt a few will survive.
ReplyDeleteGood news about about finding a new home AND a job in Hawaii .... look forward to hearing more about that.
Happy Easter to you and Ru.
Hi Jan, Glad you finally found a house and glad you get to spend 3 months in Hawaii, how great is that? I can't wait to see your pictures from there. Love the flowers and that is a cool duck.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful spring blooms! Poor Mama Muscovy duck. I was saddened to hear that her little ones did not survive.
