From Goldfinch to SNOW!!!

This snow was wet and heavy. And it had frozen to the pine needles and the blossoms on the tree.
Typical spring snow, 2-4 inches in the grass but just wet on the pavement. I think it will be a good day for a run with Sadie, no one on the golf course and she will get wet enough to count it as a under the arm bath. More rain this afternoon and snow forecasted tonight.
I took this yesterday morning. While I was having breakfast this goldfinch stopped to by to show off his beautiful colors. He was not shy, when I moved around he stayed put--I didn't see a female though. Last year I saw the first one 4/8.

Nice picture of the finch! It never seems like they cooperate.
