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.
Dia da Árvore e Início da Primavera
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.

It might not feel it as temperatures are struggling to get into double figures but spring is here as the bluebells are out.
Spring was here and gone for me, partly due to travel but mostly due to the speedy transition from COLD to HUMID... I'm finally catching up on some of my photo processing with this set from 4/10 where a couple fo us got out to the Tidal Basin for sunrise coffee outside.
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!

Love the Spring pink glow of this gorgeous Azalea bloomimg in my Mom's neighbourhood! Hope your day's glowing bright my friends =)
Nature's free bounty and useless extravagance had never appeared so fantastically beautiful as it did this spring. I had an uncomfortable suspicion that Nature had come to reconquer the earth for herself.”

Red tulips in a shaded area at the Rockefeller Greenhouse (Cleveland, Ohio). View looking across the sea of tulips at a part of the main greenhouse building in the background. It was a windy day, which always makes flower photography a challenge.

And a poem to go with this photo:
Red Tulips
By Don Iannone
they knew me
turned their heads
looked my way
made me turn mine
there we stood---
face to face
i loved them
first moment i saw them
bright red dresses
decked out to the nines
voluptuous vixens
dancing in the wind
a bit of déjà vu
soulful remembering
strangely familiar---
the smell of fresh baked bread
the sweet scent of lilacs
a springtime long ago
they invited me to dance
sing out with them
red tulips touch us deeply
especially on a warm spring day
when the sun holds death at bay
and each moment is an eternity
Bacteria and algae create the streaks of color on Orange Spring Mound. It is noticeably different from many of the other terrace formations nearby. Its large mounded shape is the result of very slow water flow and mineral deposition.

Wood Stork - Florida Wetlands - Palm Beach County U.S.A.
Very Large Colony/Flock ~ New Stork City ~ Spring 2019
~~~~~~~~ Big Florida Birds - In The Wild ~~~~~~~~~~
The wood stork is a large American wading bird in the stork family. It appears all white on the ground, with blackish-gray legs and pink feet. In flight, the trailing edge of the wings is black. The head is dark brown with a bald, black face, and the thick down-curved bill is dusky yellow. Juvenile birds are a duller version of the adult, generally browner on the neck, and with a paler bill. The bare head and the long bill, which can measure up to ten inches in length, render the wood stork distinctive from other large waders in its range.
I saw those crocuses on the way home of photography walk. The last light of the sun hit them, before it vanished behind the hill and the houses. Due to the warmest winter on the record spring seems really early this year. I took this with my Sony A6300 and a Sony 55-210 mm, f/4.5-6.3 lens at 184 mm, f/6.3, 1/250 s, ISO 640 witch despite not being a proper macro lens can get a decent magnification.
I just couldn't resist yet another shot of the rock. I see spring has indeed arrived - NOT! Still beautiful!
For CMWD; Thursday "Green".
Living in a boreal forest in Alaska - it's not hard to find spring greenery outside of your door. These are the needles found on black spruce trees in our beautiful state.

Spring in Wisconsin is like a roller coaster ride. Life can go from short sleeve shirt weather to snow in 24 hours. The original photo was taken on what I hope was our last snow storm of the season on April 21. I used Photoleap Cloud Wanderer to add Lori & me from a Jamaican trip and a pair of wondering mural characters from France. We were looking skyward and wondering that day as well.
Good sunday, my friends.
As is almost ending my little challenge -March/31- for cheer you guys up until spring fully comes over, today I bring this country flowers, as cute as they are. What do you guys think?. I purchased them yesterday for a special project. Hope you guys like it.
Have a blessed week, thank you very much for your continuous support and beautiful comments,

Lovely to see the robin on the spring blossom in Peckham Rye Park today was a bit windy but was nice to pop out for 45mins!!
Spring is making its way into Lapland slowly but surely. Weather is getting warmer day by day and long gone are the days with only few hours of daylight. Unfortunately, also trees have lost their beautiful snow-cover.
My two personal favorite times of the year in Lapland are fall colors and mid-winter. Still, there is something magical about the spring.

Last year I finally timed my Oregon visit correctly with the spring wildflowers bloom. Just seeing the fields and fields of balsam roots and lupines was a spectacle. Despite getting the flowers the weather gods frowned upon us NorCal folks as we brought nothing but mostly clear skies to the Pacific Northwest.
On our first morning up at Rowena Crest, a few small clouds managed to make a cameo but the main star was the balsam roots. I chose to get close and really emphasize this particular freshly bloomed flower. Hopefully this won’t be my last visit seeing these blooms.

Here is spring really in the act of springing. I caught these wild plum blossoms.at their peak. A few are still buds that have not opened, but all the rest are in the freshest possible stage of bloom.
Location: A tiny semi-wooded nature preserve in the Moostal. It is a farm and pasture area within Riehen BS Switzerland.
