Johnston
I took this photo on a LLT group hike led by Tony on April 23rd to see salamander eggs in the vernal pools of the Johnston preserve. I love reflections as they are windows into another world. In this case, the subtle colors hint at the coming of spring, while looking back to the fall.

Private land
The blooming of our native dogwoods [Cornus florida] mark spring for me. Peppered throughout old farms and Lyme’s preserves, dogwoods seem to be honored members of our community. This single last blossom, surrounded by the new leaves that will nourish the tree, serves as a reminder to celebrate their beauty.

In the meadows in spring and summer, the spiders build their webs between the grass stems. The dew catches on them and shines like a string of pearls in the morning sun.

The half frozen pool of water and leaves reflected the canopy of bare trees above, connecting the source of the leaves and the roots of the trees in one photo.

Chauncy Eno Preserve
This was the day I finished hiking the Moore Trail. It was a gray day witch gave the woods a hauntingly bewitching quality.
