Monotropa uniflora, or ghost pipe, a strange little plant that often grows in shady forest underbrush and decaying leaves. I distinctly remember the smell of their environment; musky, earthy, and pungent with rain from an unusually wet spring.

And so the great blooming starts--soon the sound of bees will drone in the air, the warm hand of the sun will rest against the small of your back as you press seeds into the earth, a promise to tomorrow.

The birds return; a flash of an orange breast, signaling the arrival of spring.

It's around this month I start thinking about spring, how the air will soon be filled with the perfume of lilacs, so strong the scent will near knock you over.

Something about my mother's Christmas decorations seems...familiar...

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Pushing through the winter doldrums by watching these little fellas eat berries and yell at each other #photography #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography

This time of year, the starlings are gathering in murmurations; you'll hear them first, this chattering of a thousand voices in the trees, and then a rush of wind under wings, and then, nothing.
