Signs of Spring, White Horse Beach, Manomet, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA



Spring seems like a slow-motion event around here. The daffodils pop out......



The grass and moss and lichens turn greener.....



The sky is often hazier and the line between sea and sky blurred.......



This wild tom turkey gobbles and struts around the yard......... his hens are nearby pecking bugs out of the lawn...........



Spring breezes turn the ocean waves to a boil.........



And ever so faintly, the buds on an oak tree are just starting to sprout.



And last but not least, I don't know if it was the thunder or lightning or rain or wind or the combination of all but, this was the first time in seven years I have seen an eastern coyote trot across the edge of the back yard. He now joins the foxes, otters, deer, turkeys, hawks, muskrats, and countless other "regular" members of the local wildlife community.  Life is good in Manomet - for humans and critters.
