At very low tides on rocky beaches I sometimes see a pinkish crusty… something… on the rocks. Maybe some kind of hydrocoral? I’m not great on species that generally require a wetsuit and scuba gear to examine closely.
Anyway, this rock caught a bit of sunlight and glowed pinkly under the weed in a tide pool. The sun went behind a cloud the instant I uncapped my camera, of course, but a bit of the pink glow was still there.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always been able to find my car on the ferry when it’s time to get off. Unlike this guy.

This is one of my favourite plants in our pond—buck bean, Menyanthes trifoliata—and luckily it’s not only easy to grow but also apparently good for the pond. And the flowers, when you can get close enough to see the details, are so pretty.

This is orange honeysuckle, Lonicera ciliosa. Amazing colours against the blue and green.

I know it doesn’t harm them, but it can be cathartic. And it produces such interesting results.

I like the way these fir needles are unfolding in such a dramatic sweep…
…and these just make me want to pet them.

We have some very big maple trees on our island. I like the early-spring brilliance of the new leaves way up there.

I like taking pictures of rhododendrons. I expect I’ll take more. But these are the first this year.
It’s so convenient having a forest next to our yard when I want dramatic shots against dark backgrounds.
