Salamander Egg, Lewisville, Texas I knew this was a Salamander egg inside a warm, cozy half-buried clay pot because the parent scurried away just seconds before. I would not have disturbed it but was pulling weeds and tidying up that area of the garden. It was carefully put back inside, protected with leaves and grass clippings. If Salamanders are anything like Anoles, they lay eggs and do not return to care for them, so I don’t think handling will make a difference on whether it hatches or not.

Morning Star, warm wind, CypressExcerpts from the Album and song of the same title

 by Kate Bush, c 1989

The Sensual World

Mmh, yes.

…Stepping out of the page into the sensual world

Evening storm, Cypress

Stepping out…..

to where the water and the earth caress

and the down of a peach says mmh, yes

…when I could wear a sunset, mmh, yes

…You don’t need words…

Afternoon storm, Cypress
Stepping out of the page into the sensual world…

Spring Silhouettes

Spring Silhouettes, new Red Oak leaves on a grey, windy daySpring Silhouettes, new Red Oak leaves on a grey, windy daySpring Silhouettes, flowering Dogwood on a grey, windy dayThese are not black and white photos.
I shot these the other day when the weather was grey and the new leaves of the Red Oak on our front lawn blew in the 30 mph wind gusts. It’s a marvel that the tender young leaves were still tough enough to hang on and not rip in that rough wind. When the sun shines that Spring green is usually so surreal, but it was so dark at high noon when I tried to see color - it was the strangest thing - I couldn’t!

Redbuds, early March, Coppell TexasOne Sweet World

Excerpt of One Sweet World by Songwriter Dave Matthews

Nine planets around the sun,

the only one with something there

Upon this watered one

American Elm seeds, early March, Coppell Texas

so much we take for granted

If greens all turned to grey

would our hearts still bloody be?

…so let us sleep outside tonight;

lay down in our Mother’s arms

Flowering tree needs positive ID, possibly Senna...Ajijic, Mexicoand here we will rest safely.

(The Dave Matthews Band)
