Wetlands

Filed Under Scenics, Spring

I found two nice wetlands scenes today.  The top photo includes duck-weed and red maple seeds floating on a very slow moving stream.  At the bottom, a frog takes in some warm afternoon sun, resting his chin on a lily pad.

Wisteria

Filed Under Scenics, Spring

The Wisteria is in bloom and its strong sweet aroma attracted bumble bees from far on this bright sunny afternoon.

Filed Under Fall 2007, Scenics, Spring

I went to one of my favorite sunset spots tonight, Cape Henlopen.  I wasn’t disappointed.

Spring Seeding

Filed Under Scenics, Spring

We think about planting seeds in our gardens as the days grow longer and warmer, but in the natural world plants rely on the whims of gravity and wind to propagate.  This detail photograph of a Kent County wetland shows a variety of seeds waiting for the right conditons to revegate the pond.
