Yesterday in Northfield, Minnesota, several signs of spring converged. Only April 1, but we had a windy day of 80 ° Fahrenheit, followed by lightening in the west. I went to sleep with windows open, happy with the scent of ozone, the sounds of thunder and falling rain, the memory of capturing with my camera two vernal icons: the robin and the Siberian scilla bloom.

Here’s to the turn of a new season!

Best wishes, Leslie
