Spring Tease

It rained last night. Springlike temperatures today. All the snow and ice has melted to reveal crocus greens emerging from the ground. But wait, snowstorm on Friday with below freezing temperatures for the following week. Spring will have to wait.

Late and Wet

Wrangling with a new computer, a week of mainly rain, homework for classes, finding myself a little less tolerant of technology.

But between the downpours, I had to admire my late blooming wet fuchsia this morning.

I have been spending time on natural history illustration, botanical illustration and the perpetual journal and dealing with tech. This has meant a lot less time on photography. My big question is would you prefer a mixed media blog with more posts or stick with occasional photo posts? Please let me know.

After 48 hours of rain, then snow, then rain again, a huge puddle formed on a path and made a lovely swimming spot for a Mallard couple.

My Baptisia (false indigo) leaves after the rain. The blue flowers are now long gone, but it is interesting how the leaves turn a bluish gray.

In the Water

It won’t stop raining and it is so cold. This is me holding my phone over the koi pond. I’ve posted other shots of these fish, but somehow I felt as submerged as they are so I let the reflection of me in my rain gear be.

Very Wet Day

Reciting the saying that “there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing” it was a wet day for all, but I stayed dry in my good clothing.

We actually had a week or so without rain or snow for the first time this year, but the rain has returned.

In between rain events I made it outside for a short photo walk. The white pine was dark.
