Mother's Day trip with Susan, mating swallows

Susan and I took a drive down to Heritage Museum and Gardens, and saw Spring.  Always beautiful, the Azaleas were just starting, and it turned out to be wonderful.  We went to dinner in Plymouth (Blue-eyed Crab, one of our favorites, excellent, even has Gruner Veltliner on the wine list, many delicious half-plates, $7.50-10.00).
A few photos:

A perfect river of bulbs, over 12,000 in all

Red-tail circling over out heads



Black-capped Chickadee

This flower was behind the gift shop, I couldn't find a label.

We stopped at the Sandwich Boardwalk, and these two Tree Swallows
were providing quite a show.




They repeated this fluttery approach and mating four times, each
event lasting about 8-10 seconds.  Then they were scared off by humans, and flew down
the beach.
