Magnolias are opening up!

April 16, 2025Flowers, SpringJonathan

Pink magnolia petals growing out of a bud in the middle of a branch. At the end of the branch is a fuzzy bud which has not opened yet.

When I was at the Arboretum a few days ago, most of the magnolia buds weren’t open yet, but a few were showing off their full flowers.

The gift of springtime

April 7, 2025Close Up, Flowers, Quotes, SpringJonathan

Side view of two purple crocus blossoms. Trees and dried grass are in the background, out of focus.

Front view of an American crow perched in a bare tree.

I captured this crow looking rather pensive in 2022. A good case for not being overly aggressive when going through photos for deletion.

March 23, 2025SportsJonathan

Basketball hoop mounted on a brick wall. The wind blows a tattered net, hanging from the hoop by just a few strings.

This may or may not be a comment on the Wisconsin men’s team losing in the second round of the NCAA basketball tournament.
