Vermont Vernal Pool
It was a vernal pool weekend–Saturday at Baker Bush then Sunday at a wood lot with a vernal pool owned by friends. The images in the slide show below are from Sunday. The wildflowers you will see (in order) are: Wild Ginger leaves, Sharp-lobed Hepatica, Marsh Blue Violet, Spring Beauty, Miterwort, Trout Lily with Goldenrod Spider, Spider on Trillium leaf, Purple Trillium, Jack-in-the-Pulpit, and Wild Ginger.
Below the slide show is an image you can click to get to a version that you can explore in detail. It is composed of many individual images blended to make a single photo.
Baker Bush Wetlands
Saturday, a large group explored the Baker Bush wetland, a conserved area in Strafford, VT. The hike and nature study was led by Steve Faccio of the Vermont Center for Ecostudies and Amber Boland of the Upper Valley Land Trust, the group that helped Susan Baker conserve this beautiful spot.
I invited a photographer friend, Anne Davey, to join us. She likes to create impressionistic images. The first slide show below are her photos from the trip. If you scroll down further you will see my more documentary images in a slide show. And finally at the end of this blog is a beaver pond image you can click on to magically be transported to a world where you can zoom and pan and explore details in the photo.

Merlin, Buffleheads, and Wood Ducks
A morning of bird photography before the warbler influx resulted in photos of a merlin and displaying turkey in Hanover and buffleheads, wood ducks, a very bright cardinal, phoebe, and purple finch in Lyme. Here are two short slide shows and some individual images.
My favorite photos of the morning were of a trio of wood ducks at the entrance of Clay Brook.
Also at Post Pond I found a cardinal and pairs of phoebes, purple finch, and buffleheads.
At the Hanover Country Club I found a merlin who had a meal of something that was hidden by a branch.
Heading out in the morning, I found a group of turkeys in their typical spot along King Road in Etna.

Spring Snow
Spring revival of our long-dormant garden is on hold until the snow of the last few days melts. A few weeks ago the temperature pushed 80, but yesterday we had a wintery scene in our yard. A thin layer of ice that formed overnight was covered with snow. Still, spring is on the way and daily we get reports of more and more bird species reappearing.
