With the cooler weather, I am going through some of my pictures from this spring. Always exciting to find the male Summer Tanager all decked out and looking for a bride.

Finally. The weather was beautiful this weekend and it's supposed to be warm into the first of the week! Yay! I took a short walk in the woods and found the patch of periwinkle I raided last spring. Conveniently, this fallen tree was nearby. The backlighting and FA 77 lens provided some nice bokeh
Cherry blossoms and azaleas dominate this view of the magnificent garden at Filoli.
Filoli was built for Mr. and Mrs. William Bowers Bourn II, prominent San Franciscans, whose chief source of wealth was the Empire Gold Mine in Grass Valley, California. Mr. Bourn was also owner and president of the Spring Valley Water Company. The Bourns chose Willis Polk as principal designer for the House. An inventive architect, Polk frequently combined several styles in a single building, an eclecticism clearly evident in his design for Filoli. Construction of Filoli began in 1915 and the Bourns moved into the House in 1917. Bruce Porter, a talented stained-glass artist, painter, muralist, landscape designer, and art critic, was enlisted to help the Bourns plan the layout of the extensive formal garden that was built between 1917 and 1929. Both Mr. and Mrs. Bourn died in 1936.
The estate was purchased in 1937 by Mr. and Mrs. William P. Roth, owners of the Matson Navigation Company. Under the Roths’ supervision, the property was maintained and the formal garden gained worldwide recognition. Mrs. Roth made Filoli her home until 1975 when she donated 125 acres, including the House and formal Garden, to the National Trust for Historic Preservation for the enjoyment and inspiration of future generations. The remaining acreage was later gifted to Filoli Center.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation, a privately-funded nonprofit organization, works to save America’s historic places. Filoli is one of the 27 sites they own. As part of the agreement with the National Trust, Filoli Center, the local nonprofit, has full management responsibility for the property.

Grecian Windflower / Strahlenanemone (Anemone blanda)
Botanical Garden, Frankfurt
More anemones in my personal "from-spring-to-autumn" Anemone Collection.
When we first moved into this house, the previous owner noted that this magnolia never bloomed. I discovered they had laid black plastic all around it. I removed the plastic and it bloomed like this each spring every year thereafter. That is a Douglas Fir reaching up behind it.

In general I am not often on tour with my macro lens, but if I, I love it! Especially I love it to photograph the liver worth. After a day in the forest, two blue knees, lots of scratches and of course muscle ache, I got lots of nice pictures. This is one of it, hope you like it. Have a lovely spring weekend everybody :)
In japanese, "MEZIRO". In english, "Silver eye" or "White eye". Family of sparrow. You can see east- south east Asia.
ME means eye, ZIRO(SIRO) means white.
Generally we can see this bird in spring in Japan.
It is finally looking like spring again. After a very snowy April, that set us back a few weeks for spring, our tulips are blooming!

The spring came late this year. This photo was taken couple of weeks ago when the ice was about to melt.

My friend,
these are very sad days...
On 09/21/2024
151 days without rain,
Relative humidity is around 18 to 12%
Brasília National Park is one of my favorite places to take pictures. Fires, arson, devastated about 2,000 hectares last week. The area remains very dry and hot, with the risk of more fires...
My sadness is intensified by the destruction of several Environmental Protection Areas throughout Brazil.
I am surviving; nature is crying out for help.

Meu amigo,
estão sendo dias muito triste...
Em 21 de setembro de 2024
151 dias sem chuva, a umidade relativa do ar está em torno de 18 a 12%, em alguns locais aqui da região chega a 10%
O Parque Nacional de Brasília é um dos locais preferidos para fotografar. O fogo, incêndios criminosos, devastaram cerca de 2000 hectares na semana passada, a área continua muito seca e quente com risco de mais focos de incêndio...
Minha tristeza se intensifica com a destruição de diversas Áreas de Proteção Ambiental por todo o Brasil.
Estou sobrevivendo, a natureza pede socorro.

We have a strange small tree that came with the house purchase last year. Even as a tree hugger, I've not grown fond of this straggly stunted weeping something tree.
Rather resembles the spines of an umbrella.
But I did notice tiny clusters—this one about 1 inch/2.54 cm—of even tinier buds on various small drooping twigs. A tiny sign of spring.
Sigh. As we nurse our latest newly planted sequoias, cedars, and shore pines, this tree will continue to grow. Could not possibly terminate it, but it grows in sight of my home office windows.
Thanks for looking!
