On Saturday I took a ride up to Watchung Reservation, and for the first time this year it actually felt like spring. Birds were singing away, turtles were basking all around Surprise Lake, and everywhere I looked I could see flowers starting to come up. Despite the fact that I had my two dogs with me and they managed to scare off a lot of the wildlife, I was still able to get a few good pictures.

A beautiful sunset in my backyard to end such a beautiful day.
