gray and cold out, but undaunted

Three minutes of looking around at the end of the work day can be quite profitable:

eastern blue eyed grass


the daffodils were undeterred after yesterday’s freezing rain kicked off the day. “screw it,” they said. “we’re opening up.”


siberian iris shoots. just you wait.


gray birch catkin. a reminder that we live on a strange planet.


gray birch female flower, I believe. (still learning whose bits are whose).


wild rose, which just started to leaf out last week, and has since thought the better of it and suspended the proceedings.
