Tenney Park sunset

Trying to see last night’s eclipse was a bit of a let down, but the clouds over Lake Mendota actually produced a pretty nice sunset.

First sign of summer

Irises blooming are always a sign to me that summer has begun.

This patch of irises makes its summer announcement at Edgewood College, where the last day of the spring semester is tomorrow. Yes, summer has begun.

That weed & feed I put on my lawn certainly seems to have done a good job feeding the weeds.

Crabapples blooming

I celebrated Earth Day today by hiking through the Arboretum.

In the horticultural gardens, the blooming crabapple trees seemed to be at their peak.

Bleeding heart blossoms

Someday I’d like know why the blossoms of the bleeding heart evolved to that shape. These are from the perennial beds in front of my house.

Flight of the robin

At a local park today, there were quite a few robins hunting for worms in the grass. I spent about 15 minutes trying to get close, and capture a photo at the moment they flew away. Though a bit out of focus, this was the best shot I got.

Clearly this exercise requires a LOT more patience (and maybe a longer lens).
