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.

Somerset Maugham said, “There is never enough time for love and art”.
To elaborate:
There is not enough time for love of trees and art.

Excerpts 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
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…
Stepping out of the page into the sensual world…

Spring Silhouettes
These 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!

One 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
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
and here we will rest safely.
