North
Dakota is beautiful any time of the year. Unfortunately, it is just
too cold outside to enjoy its beauty during the six winter month.
Camera freezes, too, so I apologize for the limited numbers of winter
pics...
Grand
Forks streets lined with blooming trees are nothing short of spectacular
A tree in front
of my house
Sometimes

look like jewels

is perfectly alive, just pretending to be dead
These are not
cherries, they are apples
Avocets are among
my favorite ND birds
Yellow-headed
blackbirds are common in wetlands
Ground squirrels
are always busy destroying lawns
Red-necked grebe
is one of several species of grebes in ND

does what it is supposed to do
Gooseberries
by my house do well

And

Swans and geese
are tough and stay until there is some open water
