A few more from Storm King.
Joel Shapiro: Untitled Alyson Shotz: Mirror Fence. A picket fence with pickets made of highly-polished metal. Martin Puryear: Lookout. A domelike structure of laid bricks with various-sized circular apertures placed in what appears to be a random pattern. A dense field of Black-eyed Susans.

Went out to shake out a rug, and found this Polyphemus moth on my porch.

A few more photos.
A deteriorating chain-link fence and stone culvert festooned with Dame's Rocket and Jewelweed. A single yellow rose in a sunbeam. Purple False Indigo (Baptisia) flowers backlit by afternoon sunlight. Sunset over the Connecticut River valley.

A few photos from May.
Closeup of the tip of an unfolding fern. Water rushing by a slate outcropping with fallen leaves on the rock. Closeup of a backlit yellow bearded iris. Possibly some species of bittercress growing on the bank of a stream.

It's looking like Spring...
Close-up of a white magnolia blossom. Close-up of bright yellow forsythia flowers at the end of a branch. Close-up of purple and white violas. Hobblebush blossoms and buds; leaves in the background.

Some photos from the Smith College Bulb Show. Those of us in places where Winter hasn't left yet know what a gift this annual event can be.
A fully-open pink variegated tulip with a pale yellow center. Greenhouse interior with a mass of tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, narcissi, and others beneath an installation of small strips of brightly-colored plastic suspended from the ceiling of the greenhouse. A deep purple, nearly black fully-opened tulip with a creamy white pistil. A pale pink bloom (?camellia?) against glossy green leaves.

Some photos from the last month or so...
A dried foxtail seedhead in bright sunlight against an out-of focus background. Ferns with a scattering of snow collecting on them, interlaced with thorns and a few dried red berries. Pine branch with snowflakes on the needles. A dried, somewhat bedraggled, Queen Anne's Lace blossom in bright sunlight.
