My Spring Serenade
By Eva Getman
Fireworks of new flowers are shooting up and bright
Trees are bedecked in gowns of snowy white,
...Romance is in the air
Turtles bask in the warm, sweet sun
While goslings glory in the grass...
And the first bird songs of the year are heard far and near,
as robins sing the cheer, that Spring is finally here!
 |
| "I sing for spring!" |
|
 |
These flowers look like a
wedding dress. |
|
 |
How romantic!

| "Why must you humans keep disturbing me!? You'll be wakin' the young'uns!" |
|
 |
Isn't this Cedar Waxwing gorgeous!

Will you believe it? This little Pied-billed
Grebe can make a sound as loud as gong!

"What a find! A wild rose...they make the
best honey." |
|
 |
Could this little muskrat get any cuter?
|
|
 |
| Okay, this American Goldfinch is definitely posing. |
|
 |
Oh no, my girlfriend left me in charge
of the eggs... |
|
 |
I think this Painted Lady Butterfly
looks like a little sun. |
|
 |
Turn your face towards the sun...
|
|
 |
Mrs. Tree Swallow peeped out of the
new house, "Yes, it would do." |
