More violets and one busy bird

The other day as B & I were out walking, I noticed a cluster of violets that were a lighter violet color amidst the darker purple violets so I snapped this picture. These flowers were in Mom's yard.

Later, on that same walk, I took a picture of these pure white violets amidst darker purple voilets. These violets were located a few blocks south of my mother's house.

And if I could capture a smell, I would upload for you the blast of violet scent that will hit you if you walk into Aunt A's yard that is covered with violets. It smells great.

On the same walk, we heard a loud racket and I thought for sure it must be someone working with power equipment. Nope. It was a little wood pecker, working hard on a telephone pole. Such a noise!

He held really still while we photographed him or I think he would have been a blur. That was one busy bird!

The Boy's loved this picture!!
At first they couldn't figure out why you posted the power pole, but then when the Bird was pointed out, they thought it was cool! Ü
