• A stump

    This looks like an old stump by the river and right now it is only that. Last spring I was lucky to see a black capped chickadee moving into this stump. I’m still hoping it will become the site of a bird’s nest.

  • Multiflora rose

    Two small patches of flowers behind an old building. When I see flowers in an abandoned area I admire their toughness in this careless world.

  • Common reed

    Found a nice patch of reeds between two businesses. If I just pay attention to what’s around me I find places like this.

  • Sleepy old cat

  • Haiku

  • Peony

    Waited two days for the weather to get a bit warmer so this flower would open a little. It had shut tightly Friday as the weather chilled. Welcome to New England, peony.

  • Spirea

    I first saw these bushes growing wildly last year outside the front door of the converted factory where I live. They look like they’re a gift from a passing alien.
