As we welcomed spring in April, we faced weather of all sorts: mighty winds, strong rains and even snow storms! But, it might finally be safe to say that Canada is experiencing some heat and sunshine. This month’s Take Five features the creatures and colours that warmer temperatures have welcomed back to the landscape, the theme for May’s By Popular Vote photo contest. Bright colours are so inspiring!
1. Red foxes live in every province and territory, so chances are you might see one since they are born as early as March through to the end of May.

2. The 12- spotted skimmer is a beautiful dragonfly with a contrasting black and white wing pattern, it’s always eye catching.

3. Watch where you step! This northern leopard frog camouflages itself so well in a patch of grass, it better watch out.

4. It’s not likely this eastern bluebird caught the royal wedding on TV last month, but doesn’t it look regal with its saturated royal blue tone and deep orangey-red breast?

5. A vibrant monarch butterfly lands on a bloom for a midday rest. Get more inspiration for your garden this year at WildAboutGardening.org.
