You are getting more spring in CT than I anticipated! We lived in Darien for eight years, and sometimes we didn't have blooms like this until late April, early May, but overall the east coast had a relatively mild winter. Hope you are enjoying time with your family.
I love your enthusiam for this project and that you are even going back to previous weeks at times. 🙂
The colors and light in that second one are amazing. It seems you have made great friends with the Fuji.
I hope she doesn't eat all your plants like the deer do here. I grew up in the country and never had trouble with deer eating plants, but here in suburbia our deer population is out of balance (too many) so I have to be really careful with what goes in the garden.
Nothing wrong with nature indoors! 🙂Ok, so here's the deal. Was grocery day, so these snaps are grocery store nature... View attachment 2188469

CC Always Welcome
It's also an arboretum; it's spread out over terminal moraine (so, hard to develop land then, super-lovely land now) and it's extraordinary.
Thanks! What about your enthusiasm of doing 52 weeks with us 🙂 ?💖
Repetition or practice is good to keep in mind what I'm learning
Last day in CT, leaving at 7:45 PM for direct flight to Orlando. The red ones burst out overnight and will develop into red berries.
A closer..as much as I could Blue Heron and Hellebores
Larry ! It's getting warm , You gotta call the pool guys ....
"Nah ... They cost too much , this year I'll do it myself"
Actually , it's the late Cora Timkin's pool . https://www.njpalisades.org/strangerWeird.html Abandoned when her and her husband died and the Parks Commission took it over . They never called the pool guys either .
Interestingly , there's lots of plantings left from the old estates around if you look a bit while hiking .

We took a ferry ride over to Dunoon this past weekend. When there we drove North to Loch Eck, to Jubilee Point. A wonderful place to sit and reflect. There were a couple of people camping too and the smell of their campfires was intoxicating.
Yeah, it's more able to handle backlighting with better shadow recovery. I've been doing more searching for subjects with strong backlighting and see what I can get out of it in post. The lens hood is certainly beneficial on the 55-200!
Some pink and some purple
Forgot to mention
Vancouver has thousands and thousands cherry trees , different varieties
We have a blossom festival
Finally, today, this rather delayed spring, I found a Hepatica nobilis (syn. Anemone hepatica), in Sweden called blåsippa, a traditional and very welcomed sign of spring. The grass is Elymus caninus. These grow together with other quite rare species on the location, most notably white Lathraea squamaria and Actaea spicata (but they are later). The Hepatica nobilis is growing next to a big Quercus robur. None of these, as far as I know, are native to North America, therefore I only present their scientific names.
Edit: I was wrong about the blåsippa, thanks @mollyc, this species is native to North America, its common name is roundlobe hepatica.

"New." Just since yesterday, out our south window, at home, Worcester, MA.
Nature's doctor: My knee hurts.
Ok, we were actually looking for white-tailed eagles. But I needed a 900mm for that...
This mornings sun streaming down through the woods behind my house.
