 Mid-April 2005

A sudden rush of green, yellow, pink and purple - perhaps because of the cooler March, the urge had been suppressed, and is now unleashed.

292.2  Goose Eggs  000

^Above, as part of an ongoing, well funded, study, I test the male goose's 'defend the nest' stamina, provoking the above reaction. Canalphotos is pleased to report that all is as it should be and will apply for another grant. (No eggs were disturbed during this test). :-)

292.11  Really Big Violet

<<<The thing about violets, they say, is that once you smell them, your nose gets turned off and you can't smell them again for awhile. I can neither prove nor disprove this because, try as we might (and we try) Canalphotos can't smell 'em in the first place. :-(

292.3 Mourning Cloak  

Forsythia, that too bright, too briefly blooming, too yellow companion of early Spring reflected in the Raritan River, swimming with the ducks.  >>>

292.4 Reflected Forsythia  

^Sure, I chase butterflies, like ^ everybody else - but have learned that standing still is more productive since a butterfly tends to return to the spot it was startled from. Here's my first ever Mourning Cloak - apologies for the tatters.
