About This Blog

This is a journey through my backyard during a Northeast spring. 

I started on the first day of the season making images of crocuses, then moved on to whatever was next to blossom. Soon, daily
 walks with my dog led to surprises along the banks of nearby creeks or local parks. Come the 
last day of spring, I hope to have an alluring, albeit un-scientific, 
account of the plant life springing up all around. I welcome you to share your comments.
