The fabled season of rebirth is being elusive here in the Berkshires; a steady diet of cold, damp, foggy weather has been punctuated by bright days and the first wildflowers.
Here are a few shots from this past week.
A foggy dawn on the Chickley River:
Colt’s foot, with its lush flowers and strangely leafless stems, sprouts in the gravel at roadside:
Water fowl cruise the beaches and sand bars of the Deerfield:
The sheep have been shorn:
…And love is in the air. A wild tom turkey struts like a tipsy frat boy for an obviously disinterested hen:
…while a local Scottish Highland bull does, well, what bulls do:
Notice how impressed his date is.
Anyway, it’s coming, I mean, “imminent.” And I’m talkin’ about Spring!
