Moving Into May




Moving Into May
April 30 to May 5, 2018











April 30









May 5 - And, suddenly ...
















What a difference, just sliding from one month into another!

From Cottonwood Pond and the woodland being green, but somewhat sparse …


April 30


… to such lush greenery that I could hardly see through the woods, or down to Cottonwood Pond.


May 5


The inside of the woods was darker, too, as sunlight could not so easily penetrate.

And – look at this … the “Goblin” had changed!








April 30

May 5


There was one large snout under two beady, heavily-lidded eyes. By May 5, it looked more like a deep-sea creature, perhaps working its way through the soggy Cottonwood Pond area.


May 5 - the "Goblin" down there


Birdsong echoed through the dense woodland …

April 30 - White-Throated Sparrow


… while plants on the woodland floor stretched upward and outward, filling in the scene even more, and tree leaves expanded.


April 30 - Mayapples on a slope







April 30







May 5



















Going down to Cottonwood Pond would become a very different experience after this.
