Your posts read like poetry. I am ever-envious of this moment and image: The approaching night blackened the vine’s leaves, but in that darkness, the tips of the tail feathers of the cedar waxwings flickered like small flames — candles that no night could quench.
Thank you! It's so exciting when a garden tree starts blooming. The first time the Chickasaw plum bloomed, I thought, "What is that on the tree?" (It was probably pre-coffee.)
I thought springtails might make an appearance--and they did! Your close-up photos are so fun to see (they show off details I might miss in real life). That redbud is beautiful.

Thank you! This means a lot from someone whose poetry I admire so much.
Those springtails! WOW!
Our Aronia is also blooming, first time I believe. Thank you for the lovely photos.

Like so many of your essays, this one makes me want to peer more closely at all the signs of life around me that I too often pass by without notice!
I'm excited to read about what you find!

Thank you! (I do love the Canon 5DSR for macro photography. I've had it for two years, and it still surprises me!)
I love your springtail photos! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I'm so glad people like them!
