The wood ducks have returned for another year. They showed up about two weeks ago, which is a little later than usual.

It is amazing to me that they have been here every spring since we purchased the property in 1989. I  don't have any idea what the life span of the ducks would be, maybe these are really the second or even third generation.

Yesterday morning I was about to leave for work when Steve call to me to come downstairs and bring the camera. When I got to the bottom of the stairs I could see what he wanted me to take a picture of.......

There he/she was looking in the patio doors, he broused on some of the flowers and then munched his way to the back of the woods.....

We have seen tracks up around the house, but this is the first time I have had the chance to take any pictures.

I finished my March BJP page a couple days ago (actually BEFORE the end of the month), but haven't had the time to take those pictures....... We have a new website for the Bead Journal Project. If anyone is interested in taking part in the 2008 BJP you can read the rules and sign up on the site. Also all the 2007 participants will have a page on the site to display all of their pages in one place.... it should be very very cool when everyone has their pages posted there.
