The last few days, with the alternating warm and rain, has brought out the smaller daffodils and crocuses. There are occasional cherry trees already in bloom although we&#8217;re not really close to them all being out yet. There are likely to be lots of daffodil pictures in the coming weeks so I decided to stick to posting crocuses today, mostly just pictures of purple.<\/p>\n<p>I was out in the yard, lying on a tarp because the ground is still very wet. I rolled over and was watching the clouds go by when I saw a nuthatch bopping around on the tree overhead. This picture of it (the third one here) was taken through small branches which accounts for much of the fuzziness. Cute little thing, though.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-453 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.henryhartley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/img_20120304_030030.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.henryhartley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/img_20120304_030030-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Purple Crocus\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.henryhartley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/img_20120304_030030-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.henryhartley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/img_20120304_030030-800x800.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-454'>\n\t\t\t\tPurple Crocus\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.henryhartley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/img_20120304_030034.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.henryhartley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/img_20120304_030034-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Purple Crocus\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.henryhartley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/img_20120304_030034-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.henryhartley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/img_20120304_030034-800x800.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-455'>\n\t\t\t\tPurple Crocus\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.henryhartley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/img_20120304_030059.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.henryhartley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/img_20120304_030059-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Nuthatch\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.henryhartley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/img_20120304_030059-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.henryhartley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/img_20120304_030059-800x800.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-456'>\n\t\t\t\tNuthatch\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was cool again today but mostly sunny and beautiful.
