The Yard in Bloom

Yesterday I kept looking at the first Iris bloom and I almost didn't notice that the columbine has also started to bloom.  The lupin is sending up a bloom stalk.  I have several nice lupins and I'll enjoy seeing their blooms soon.

I saw my first gold finches wearing their bright yellow this morning.  I wonder if they notice that their feathers change colors for winter and summer.  They must notice, surely.  But maybe not if they don't see color.  And how does that work?  They don't get their summer apparrel out of a closet.  Nature is wonderful.
