I asked a guy who was chopping wood nearby if he knew what kind of tree this was. He said “Well my fifth-grade daughter once did a report on it, and ID’ed it as a charter oak, or a white oak”. Good enough for me.

This welcoming field of daffodils, a community project sponsored by the Essex Foundation, can be found at the bottom of Exit 3 (northbound) on Route 9.

I’m looking out over South Cove here, towards a dazzlingly bright late afternoon sun shimmering off the mud and water of low tide. Interestingly, there’s hardly any post-processing here; the camera’s color sensor rendered the scene in a simple monochrome.

The Khousa Dogwoods (Cornus Khousa) have been spectacular along the coast this year, where Spring has been on the cool and rainy side. I don’t remember a year with blossoms so magnificent and the trees looking so healthy. There’s a particularly nice stretch heading west out of the center of Madison, where a number of stately colonials provide a backdrop.
This hasn’t so much been the case with other dogwoods; I notice the pink and reddish flowered ones (Cherokee Brave/Cherokee Princess – Cornus Florida) have hardly flowered at all, and have long since gone by.
