Day 90 - a Year by the Sea

catkins.jpg

More signs of spring. The thicket out to MarshHenge is full of these birch like trees. Suddenly all these catkins exploded into existence over a few days. Plant life has woken and is growing with a force that is amazing. One day branches are empty and dead looking, next day furry catkins every where. I’ve seen a few barn swallows which live almost exclusively on flying insects. No bugs in the air, no swallows. Now there are swallows again. I even saw a few dandelion blooms. So it really is here.

Ciao!
