First Spring Heat Wave

From overnight frosts to near 90F afternoon highs in less than a week

Despite the long, cold spring this year, a 5 day heat wave is blessing us this week, and the leaves are starting to suddenly pop everywhere !!!

Trillium always looks downward. Why is it so bashful?

Four wheeler track finally drying out.

Shadows everywhere as the sun blazes through the still leafless trees.

Blaze loves to enter my frame of attention and add a deeper dimension to my composition and enjoyment.

Standing tall.

Symmetry

Even the mighty shall fall one day.
