True Spring Bliss at 5700'

This morning the sandhill cranes were calling their loud, throaty presence from Camas Prairie at first light. They were in our portion of the valley, less than 1/2 mile away. not a cloud in the sky, with a cool, fresh morning. The aspens have fully leafed out a couple of weeks early this year, and the large valley/basin of Camas Prairie is in full bloom. Hummingbirds have returned and are joined by many songbirds. What's not to love?!!
