It’s April and Spring is official, even though the weather in Florida has felt like spring since late February, but that’s why so many of us love it here.  It was a warm winter so there wasn’t ever a time where the landscape looked completely baron, but what little did turn brown and die, is now coming back in pretty shades of light green.

The animals are busier than they have been.  I saw the first bunny of the season and with Easter a week away, it seems like perfect timing.  This little bird stopped to cool off along the edge of the lake, it was fun to watch him splash around.

I saw two turtles, one water turtle out sunning himself and a small box turtle that wasn’t quite brave enough to say hi.

Just after snapping photos of the turtle, I walked around the corner to catch the end of skirmish between two birds and a snake.  I can’t say who started it, or why, but I think the birds ended it because the snake retreated to the safety of the tall grass.  Doesn’t Bird #2 look like a tough little bugger?

The photos below are just some bits of Spring that I found.  I hope you enjoy them…this is April.
