05.10.2021 Macro Monday Marsh Marigold
Nothing challenging about that alliteration. As the name implies, these grow in some wet conditions and, in this case, swampy. Several times my boots got sucked deep into the muck, fortunately they are “Muck Boots”, and I almost had to … Continue reading

From the backyard wild spot-Trillium grandiflorum
05.03.2021-2 Macro Monday
Hobblebush-Viburnum lantanoides A native shrub, the flowers are lovely but it’s the texture of the leaves that I enjoy even more.
04.19.2021 Blood-root

Another shot from the Quabbin Park seep as the skunk cabbage buds start to swell.
