This Live Oak tree is the view I have
from my kitchen window!
It was one of the reasons I LOVED this house!
We spent Sunday afternoon at Sholom Park and had a picnic! It looks like his and hers benches..but we sat together! lol
We took our binoculars AND camera
and saw 4 hawks flying overhead
and just when we looked high in the sky...
we saw an Eagle!
These bushes are blooming all over the neighborhood!
I hope Spring comes soon to your neighborhood!
I’m joining Mary at the dear little red house
for ......
my favorite day of the week!

Hello Diane! It is really spring in your place! Enjoy and wishing you more happiness!
beautiful! the hawks ... amazing! the live oak tree is a beauty. wonderful shots.
Your mosaic is so pretty....you are making me miss my home state more and more. The flowers blooming are gorgeous and the blue sues are typical of Florida. You did great capturing the eagle and the hawk. Enjoy the warm beautiful weather.
Love the clouds in the mosaic. Spring is slowly arriving to my garden. Yah:)
What wonderful clouds over your house! That hawk is so beautifully marked that I think he's even handsomer than the eagle. Thanks for the nice spring wishes...not happening any time soon, but I'll just enjoy seeing spring here for a while longer.
Oh my! How wonderful! Your cloud pictures are just beautiful!!! have a grand week! Cathy
Wasn't today gorgeous! I spent the day at a farmers market in downtown Orlando. It just makes you happy!

All your photos were great Diane but that hawk photo was gorgeous.
You have a beautiful view from your kitchen window. I don't think I'd ever leave that room...lol. Beautiful mosaics! Love the clouds.
We were watching a golf tournament from Florida today and the weather looked wonderful. Sigh.
Lovely shots - the hawk is beautiful.
Lots of lovely blue sky. It looks like you're having a great time outdoors right now ... wonderful to see the hawk and eagle! Loved that stunning shrub covered in white blooms.
I hope spring comes here soon too. In the mean time, I really enjoyed seeing around your area.
The oak tree is lovely.

What a great Springtime post...you and I are really getting into the swing of things...
and HOW did you capture the hawk...and eagle...:)
I still have not learned to do a mosaic..and I need to do that.
Of course we are blessed that we live in States like Florida and California with our beautiful weather.
I miss Florida sometimes...I loved it there...all except for the buggies!
I could do without those!
:)
What a gorgeous state Florida is..
Hugs,
Mona
How wonderful to go on a picnic and sit in the park. Hopefully we will be able to do that here too soon. Lovely mosaic. V
I sure wish Spring would get here!! I think we are finally done with snow...the temps are starting to go up. It was in the mid 40's today.
How fun to see the hawks and an eagle...we see hawks here, but I've only seen an eagle at the zoo.
Have a great week!!
~Cindy~
Those are great pictures of the hawk and eagle.
Send someof that beautiful Spring weather this way, ok? I thought Spring was arriving but now it is cold and wet with snow right up the road.
Thank you for your sweet messagings on my blog!
Mecky
Thank you for the birthday greeting. I've just bookmarked your blog. I will enjoy reading your past posts. Your picture of that hawk is great!
Beautiful tree and springtime preview, Diane! I saw my first robin red breast here today and that made me smile!
I love all the different clouds, and the hawk is just stunning!
Looks like a wonderful place to live indeed. Beautiful spring weather.
I enjoyed my virtual afternoon at Sholom Park, beautiful photographs.
I love the live oak trees in Florida. Wish they would grow in michigan. No good sign of spring yet....but I am watching for them.
Those photos are simply stunning and beautiful! Love to see those pretty flowers in bloom!
It does look so very warm and inviting down there...
How I love to see spring photos as I yearn for winter to end here in Edmonton! Thank you for sharing the beauty of your corner of the world.
Great view, great picnic and yes, great weather we've been having!
The hawks in your neighborhood are much prettier than the ones here, but every morning when I get up now the woodpeckers are trying to bore into the telephone poles. They keep going back to them, so they must be making progress, but I don't think the telephone company will be happy, lol.
There are buds in the trees and the daffodils are out here in England! YAY!!
Beautiful pictures, I might not get any dishes done looking out at the beautiful oak all day.
Ahhh, you lucky gal, surrounded by flowers. I did see a few things pop up in our yard...
Can't wait to see the pillows!!!!!!! Make sure to let me know -don't want to miss it.
Hi and happy Monday!
I remember those big old live oak trees in Florida and Texas! Oh, the stories they could tell if they could talk, huh? The white blooming bushes are pretty, too! We have not come full swing into the blooming season here in the Northwest. We are still wearing jackets as spring is quickly approaching. But, I will be sure to share some of the fabulous blooms we have where I live in the Northwest Seattle area. I wanted to tell you that you inspired me to go over to the local thrift/antique shop this weekend with my husband. I found a great tea or kitchen towel which I will share about on my blog this week. I am going to go on Debbiedoos blogging party next week, hopefully, so thank you for the suggestion you left me on my blog. I went to the tutorial Debbie's friend did but still have a few questions on how to do this (new to blogging)but I will, hopefully, be on there next week! :) It is so nice that many people remember being new to the blogging world and want to help others. Have a great day! xoxo Kim
I would love to be in Florida right now! You have the best weather, beaches and shopping!!!
Great photos!
That's beautiful! I've been dreaming of having a picnic and told hubby Sunday we need to plan one. Can't wait to get out in the sunshine! Looks like you had fun!
How it looks different from you. Although there is still spring. Blue skies we are, but our eagle sparrow ... hihihi
Best wishes,
Markus

Very nice. Jilda and I are trying to line up some gigs in Florida for April.
I was scheduled to come to the Panhandle tomorrow, but my truck had issues so I had to cancel.
Maybe later. It looks so beautiful there.
Looks like a day spent in Heaven. What a thrill to see the Eagle.
Happy Spring!!
