Little Signs of Spring #2
Maple Seeds
(I called them “whirly birds” when I was small. Who can resist throwing handfuls of them into the air to watch them twirl their way to the ground?) Country Dew has a great post on them here. She called them “dibbas.”

Beautiful lighting in this shot. I’ve no first hand experience with them, so I get to pick my favorite term for them, no?

Are they really that red? I saw them take off like UFO helicopters maybe for the first time yesterday. Made me laugh out loud! And then wonder, where have I been all my life?
