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. The masses of salamander eggs in this photo appear to be floating in a reflected blue sky. I think it captures the ghost-like, alien magic of the egg masses.

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.
