Vernal Pool Reflections

Photographer: Kip (Photo of Distinction)
April 23, 2022 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.

Dew on spider web

May 2022 Private land 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.

I have developed an appreciation for nature and all of my wonderful adventures taking photos reminds me of how important it is to take time to relax and discover things. Nature really matters because it provides awe-inspiring beauty to the world we live in.

This newly emerged white oak leaf gives one a sense of hope and renewal. The rosy color is a beautiful contrast against the surrounding springtime green.

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.

Dogwood

May 4, 2022 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.

Hartman Park
I love the contrast of the dramatically lit orange of the beaver-stripped tree trunk against the deep blue of water. Beaver activity at Hartman Park is endlessly fascinating. There is always something new to see.
