As we leave the snow of winter, spring becomes the time to reflect on our roots with nature.
The birds, flowers and tree cause a climax of vital renewal and love within nature.

We unpack the winter storage of the boats in the Mystic Seaport

The Mystic Shipyard boats and dry dock must un-package the storage
and remove the Seaport Xmas tree from the mast head.
The most famous ship that was made and is stored here is the replica of the slave ship the Amistad.

The tour trips begin as the water warms.

Launch becomes a priority.

The other Mystic tourist attraction become busy with Mystic Pizza.

The birds begin to organize their family.

And writing becomes a form of relaxation as it does exercise one's mind.

Spring breaks become past...

The St Pat's Parade of a dozen Bands with Bagpipes & Drums have stimulated  the town into spring.

 So we break out the Celtic Ipod Music and pray  to the Stones.
But when we begin to dig the garden - we curse them -
since the ice age left us a lot of them in Connecticut.
Not arranged so nicely as Stonehenge.

Time for the Rite of Spring

This is a Hawks slide show you control so select then hit "next"
to advance and watch this hawk pursue a prey.
