Portraits of a Summer Snowflake.
I absolutely adore wildflowers, and one of my favorites is the Queen Anne's Lace. I love how delicate and fragile it is, and how it's interesting angles and directions make it appear so differently upon a closer look--one way, like a snowflake, another way, like a fairy's umbrella, some lie flat and face the sun, some are loaded with insects, how interesting they look before they actually bloom, and even how they look when viewed from underneath, with extraordinary things most people might miss, like dots, spikes, and line patterns!

Belted Kingfishers
I spent some time lakeside this April morning, noticing that except for the dozens of cormorants and the single bald eagle in the trees before me, all the birds around me were in pairs. I followed these two Belted Kingfishers as they fished, perched, and danced and chattered with each other. Typically I'll see one, so it was a fortunate treat for me to see the pair in action.

But first.... I stopped to snap this scene of Swartswood's Northshore House
before I continued on to the marsh.
