The trees are now generating new growth in a variety of colors. It’s almost like having a second Fall season, but these new buds will soon become the nice green leaves that will stick around until the ‘real’ Fall arrives.  This photograph and the ones below were taken this morning at Huntley Meadows Park in Alexandria, VA.  A protected wetlands, it’s a top spot for birding.  The Red-winged Blackbirds were out in full force, calling out to other Red-winged Blackbirds.

Even though there was plenty of bird activity, with several Snipes in the distance, I was more interested in the trees and the spring color being added to the landscape, including the reflection of that color in the water.
