Welcome to May! Here in Michigan, we are waiting for the temperatures to catch up to the calendar. It looks like that may happen next week, but I won’t hold my breath waiting.

From my 2023 wall calendar.

In the picture above I was able to identify the goldfinch, the Baltimore oriole, the cardinal, and the blue bird. I am not certain about the identity of the small brown bird – perhaps a house wren? What do you think?

I also recognize most of the flowers in the picture. I am not certain about the flowering tree on the left, but it looks much like our cherry tree which is blossoming right now. In the foreground there are daisies, purple coneflower, and goldenrod in the far right that the monarch butterfly is perched on.

Certainly an abundance of nature is depicted.

Thanks for visiting. I wish you a happy May!
