early spring in the desert …

Spring arrives…

…Coronavirus be damned.

Spring …

… goes on.

awaiting spring …

… one morning in the forest at my university.

life cycle …

… from the bright green of spring to the slow decline of autumn.

dangling …

 

… from a tree in my backyard.

bursting …

… in my backyard.

ahhhh …

… at last, in the forest at my university.

finally …

… spring has arrived in the forest at my university.

at last …

… a bit of green among decaying materials in the forest at my university.

it’s coming for you …

… a large fungus on a tree in the forest at my university.

spring beckons …

… in the forest at my university.

a few fungi, anyone?

… in the forest at my university.

sheesh …

… still waiting for spring in the forest at my university.

damn it …

… yeah, it’s pretty (digitally “enhanced,” of course) in the woods at my university, but sheesh, it’s April 17. Where the hell is spring?

still waiting …

… on April 15 for Spring to arrive in the forest at my university.

still more damn snow …

… Spring still hasn’t sprung, and my favorite trail is again covered with snow …

no snow, but no leaves …

… between seasons in the forest at my university.

a wet spring …

… in Badlands National Park, South Dakota, USA.

a brief, brilliant bloom …
