Pussy Willows

As I was wandering around my property today, picking up sticks and enjoying the spring sounds of birds, I looked up and noticed that the pussy willow tree was blossoming. Quick! I ran into the house, grabbed my camera, attached a telefoto lens, and ran back outside. I make a series of images from both far away and close up perspectives, but I think this one really gives the feel of a real spring day in the Northeast.

Morning and Cows

This is what I saw on my walk this morning. I had to stop and soak in the beauty, and then I documented it for posterity. Hopefully, this view will stay the same forever and ever, giving us a place to dream and feel peaceful.

Crocus in the Lawn

This cute little bee landed on a crocus I was photographing in my lawn (right place at the right time). I kneeled down as close as possible without invading the bee's territory and zoomed in to make these images quickly, and just after about 5 seconds, Mr. Bee flew to its next meal.

Here is another image I made the same day. It is a thrill to see flowers blossoming right now after the long winter we endured, and it makes me want to stay outdoors all day making images of any new growth -- finally, a sign of life!
