Wild Strawberry

Springtime’s prolific wild strawberry blossoms along Fargo Brook are ripening into a pretty good crop of berries. I had to lay down flat on the ground to capture this image. And, yes, it was tasty as was its neighbor!

Like a Fly on Chicory

I was out shooting chicory blossoms along Camel’s Hump Road yesterday morning. This large fly happened to alight in the blossom I was focussed on. The crispness of the detail in the flower’s stamens and the fly’s wings and back, and contrasting colors really work for me…

Jewel Weed into the Woods

As I was driving along Taft Road, I just had to stop and get a picture of this scene. The jewel weed carpets the woods along the road and deep into the shadows. I love the texture and tone.
