A lonely, misty stretch of northern California coast, March 1984.

The spring following my Appalachian Trail hike, I took a long bus ride to Seattle, where I rented an economy car and drove down the Pacific Coast Highway and sometimes even smaller coastal roads to San Francisco.

On a grassy, scrub-covered cliff above a secluded bay filled with offshore rocks known as sea stacks. Several are rather large. Beneath an overcast sky on a rainy day, the sun breaks out for a few minutes. The foam of breaking waves is dazzling in the sunshine. The rest of the ocean is a deep blue gray. Through a thin lingering haze we can see the rugged seacliffs topped with forest at the far end of the bay. There are some groves of trees on the gentler slope leading down to the sea at the bottom of our cliff.

Overhanging Trees

In keeping with my landscape theme - here are some trees with branches in the foreground with a landscape of hills in the background.

It is early evening beneath a very pale blue sky. The westering sun shines through the leaves of a lush green late springtime forest, touching the clustered white and pink blossoms of a mountain laurel thicket in full bloom with a soft backlight.

Spring Trees, Central Park. © Copyright 2023 G Dan Mitchell.

Walkers pass through an area of lawns and large spring trees in Central Park, Manhattan.

This photograph — almost certainly the last from my end-of-March visit to Manhattan — has been sitting in the queue for weeks as I’ve shared others. I made it during a brief bit of lovely spring sun at the end of a long weekend of nearly constant rain. In part, I scheduled this New York visit when I did because I had been told that “New York is beautiful in spring.” (We almost always visit in December or August, arguably among the worst months!) Until this final morning, when the sun came out for a few hours, I wasn’t so sure about that “beautiful spring” claim.

Took a little road trip into the desert last week. I love parts of the desert and would live there if it wasn't so hot. I love the Sanora Desert with it's Saguaro Cactus and they were blooming. The bird is a Thresher. Well done Arizona!

Grand Prismatic Spring is one of most brilliant and popular of Yellowstone's many hot springs. It is enormous in size, the largest in the USA and the third largest spring in the world measuring 370 feet in diameter.

The red beetles with the big antennae and black spots and legs are red milkweek beetles.
These are common milkweed flower buds. I will come back and take pictures once they open.

After a grass pollen count of 796 for a couple of days in the #Oregon Willamette Valley (200+ is considered “very high”), today the grass pollen said:

“Hold my Beer.”

Official word is that we are approaching an all-time record with a count of 967 today. Great.

And in other news, I am staying inside with windows closed for the duration.

Seconds later, it flew right up to within 3-4 m under the shade of a #rose #bush no doubt looking for aphids and I caught this rather contrasting, scary image of the same #bird as it might look to one of its tiny victims.

#today spent most of my time hauling water for the veggies. All of the storms that blew through yesterday missed us completely so we are getting seriously dry again. Everything is holding up pretty well, so far. Also had time to "hill up" the first planting of sweet corn and the second planting will be ready to go out in a day or two.

Last June night was one of the coldest in recent decades in northern and eastern Germany. Some records for the lowest temperature were even broken near the ground.

The cause was a fresh inflow of very dry polar air, which was able to cool down optimally in clear and windless conditions. The dry soils also played a role.

Spring isn't spring without the wonderful, fragrant and petite white blooms of the Lily Of The Valley. In the language of flowers the Lily of the Valley symbolizes the return of happiness. According to folklore, Lily of the Valley is said to protect gardens from evil spirits.

I've always loved the shape of Cedar of Lebanon trees, but have always struggled to capture their majesty in a photograph.

I'm fairly happy with this one of two very different, but equally characterful trees on a stormy spring evening a couple of years back.

Have a great evening ❤️

A big old stag-headed oak tree in the fog.

It has a girth of around 8.5 metres, and has bags of character - it photographs well from lots of angles. It's also home to at least one barn owl - the first time I discovered that was when it flew right over my head in the twilight on a winter's morning.

Hope you had a great bank holiday weekend? ❤️ 🌳

A day of cycling along the Danube, into the wetlands & woods of the Lobau, and listening to birdsong. Several nightingales singing from bushes along the river, an icterine warbler and a golden oriole in the woods, but the highlight for me was a great reed warbler performing his amazing song from a reed head bent by his weight. Now listening to the frogs croaking in the Alte Donau
