Nature sign of Spring and another year of sharing growth in a family, so dear to Alewife hearts.

I went to "mount auburn" yesterday ( 2/28/11 ) i fed my birds ( couldnt get in sunday). on the way back i went to stop at 185 and as i hit the rotary i saw 'ruby' take off from 'trader joes' i followed her a short way down concord ave. and when she went into 'fresh pond' i pulled up ( on the side walk) grabbed my camera ( in the rain) and ran across the street i could see her in a tree top about 70 yards away,, and as i looked (click) i saw buzz land on her back'click' ( they almost slipped off the branch.) ! i took about 40 pictures of the two lovers. tough photography , wind ,rain, cold slush etc. but the proof is in the picture!
