Spring is here!

It's officially spring and despite the cold winter, a few sure signs have already appeared.

One of my favorite early spring blooms, Lamium purpureum red deadnettle.

Andrena is a genus of bees known as mining bees. They nest in the ground and are among the earliest bees to become active in the spring.
