‘Picture This’ photo contest entry
OK. I’ve settled on this one. Not sure it really nails Rob’s criteria. But it’s my favorite of the ones I’ve shot this month in an effort to capture green. Thanks to GGW for hosting Picture This.
Bloom day scans
More than usual for the April scans, what with the early spring warm weather. (We’re probably around two to three weeks ahead on growing degree days.) Thanks to Carol at May Dreams Gardens for hosting. Click on images for larger views.
Daffs.

Try it yourself. It’s easy. Flower scanning directions are here.
‘Awakenings’ gold
Well this took a little of the sting out of both Syracuse (alma mater, frosh team ’75-’76) and Cornell (employer) losing in the NCAA tourney last week. But as Cornell center Jeff Foote told The Onion, even the improbable becomes inevitable with a long enough timeline.
Actually, I thought I stood a chance at getting a mention in this month’s Gardening Gone Wild Picture This photo contest. That’s because I’ve been following the advice that judge Saxon Holt offered in a post about a year ago on Point of View Photographs. Saxon made me realize that if I was going to capture the impact of early spring ephemerals, I was going to have to get down and dirty. Muddy knees, muddy elbows and occasionally a muddy chest are the price you pay.
Thanks to Saxon and everyone at GGW for hosting this monthly event. Congrats to the other winners and thanks to everyone else who contributes inspiring photos each month.
