Theme Day: Green
The City Daily Photo Theme Day photo challenge for March 1st is “Green.” So in today’s starring role is a Pacific tree frog. They are common in our region. Cute little amphibians, they’re not much larger than a thumb and wear today’s color well.

Looking up
Even on a clear day it really still is winter.
Blue skies and clouds
Marsh reflections. There’s plenty of water from our recent snow and rain.
Early spring
You know it’s been a long winter when a neighbor walking by gets excited to discover a tiny iris that’s popped up in our yard. This diminutive flower is no more than 3 inches (7.6 cm) high and it’s a volunteer that grows in a bed of miniature daffodils.
The daffodils aren’t ready yet, nor are our crocus. After all, they were under a foot of snow only 10 days ago.
Emu update
Last September I posted photos here of new young birds that had shown up on a small farm near Sunny Farms store.
They’ve grown fast. They’re tall enough now that they stand almost eye-to-eye with me, not surprising since they are the second tallest birds in the world (after the ostrich).
Emus are native to Australia, which helps explain why they’re such a curiosity to locals. On a breezy day you can see their soft, downy feathers blow about. Click here for more information about these flightless birds.
Welded
This is one of those mailboxes I’ve passed so many times I barely notice it. But it has a unique welded base and someone made an effort to give it a distinctive look. It certainly beats the wooden post mine lives on.
