Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door

It's finally spring here in New England, and at last I can take a picture looking out my back door that, though it still isn't in the same league as the Coragyps' avatar, at least doesn't include any snow: Post your spring "lookin' out my back door" photos here!--Percy

Great photos, keep 'em coming'! Let's broaden it to spring photos of anywhere in your local neighborhood. For those of you in the southern hemisphere, well, do your best!Happy spring, all!--Percy

I lived in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, from age 7 to 12. We spent many, many summer days at the public beaches of the west side of Narragansett Bay. When the tide was out the water would be ankle deep for a couple hundred feet from shore, and the sun would heat the shallow expanse of water into the 90's (F, of course). Many of our friends' fathers were in the Navy, so they would be around for only a couple years or so, but I think the Navy base at Quonset is no longer a naval facility. We would tagged along with friends' families for base tours, and I once toured the aircraft carrier Essex.--Percy
