It is the first day of spring, and here is the opening post in my seasonal photo series. The calendar officially turned today, but old man winter isn’t quite done with us yet. Out in the front yard, the tulips have already made ambitious progress, pushing vibrant, red-rimmed spears straight up through a cold blanket of fresh snow. Across the lawn, the house stands quiet under gray skies and towering pines, caught right in the balance between lingering winter chill and early morning thaw.
Celebrating Spring 2024
I am dedicating a new project series to tracking the shift from March 19th through the summer solstice on June 20th. Few seasons bring as much dramatic reinvention to our landscape—from frozen turf and hidden bulbs to sudden leaf-out and high-summer green. Over the next three months, I will post weekly observations and photos capturing the subtle, stubborn progression of spring as it unfolds across the yard, the woods, and the foothills.
