Earlier this week I biked on the Glacial Drumlin State Trail for the first time.
Four generations of Bloy men
From left to right, Michael and his son Adam, Great Grandfather Wilmer, and Grandfather Steven. For a nice comparison, see a similar photo from 2004.
Spring thicket
This scene will look SO different in a few weeks…
Obligatory photo of tulips at the Capitol
I almost missed the tulips at the Capitol this year. While out biking today, I rode around the square, and noticed many of the tulips were past peak. There was one nice bed of red and yellow blossoms though. I figured, better take a shot now or wait until next year.
A multitude of tulips
Why is this world so messed up?
I don’t have an answer, but if these guys figured anything out, I certainly hope they let the rest of us know.
Magnolia season
After weeks of rain and cooler than normal temperatures, there seems to be a sudden explosion of flowers everywhere.
After the rain
Two days of sunshine
You know you’re anxious for spring, when you celebrate two days in a row of sunshine and (mostly) blue sky. It won’t be long until those bare branches are filled with leaves.
Purple crocus
At last, a concrete sign of spring! Although when I see these tiny, first blossoms of the year, it seems to me that Mother Nature is tentatively testing the change of season. As if she’s saying, “Let’s see how these small flowers do before I commit to anything bigger.”
