Jessamine in January

I know it has been a mild winter but this is 3 months early! The Carolina jessamine is in a planter against a wall with a Southern exposure, but still...

I left before dawn for a meeting. When I got back, blackbirds and robins were all over the sweet gum in the front yard. In the back, a chickadee was singing in the oak. Gulls, mergansers, egrets and a pelican were monitoring the creek. The pelican was on the boathouse roof and a great black-backed gull was honking from a piling. The egrets were picking their way along the low tide edge. A lot of mud was exposed - half way out to the end of the dock. The camera battery must be low because all the photos were over-exposed and out of focus.

Today was certainly warm enough to be Spring.
