Go ask Ray Bradbury for his recipe for dandelion wine.

Hobblebush is now in full flower. The flowers are being enjoyed by two #pollinators.

Last year's wet summer had me remembering dry days gone by, the sort of days when the sun evaporates the very idea of winter. This year winter already seems a distant concept. #seasons #biketooter #summer https://www.mattpedals.bike/the-impossibility-of-seasons/

My mom’s barn through the seasons.

In Defense of Plants, Episode 515. Phenology

The emergence of leaves, the blooming of flowers, the arrival of pollinators... these are all biological events that are closely tied to the changing seasons. The study of this linkage is called Phenology and my guest today... Join me and Dr. Theresa Crimmins as we discuss the USA National Phenology Network and her new book "Phenology" that details a lot of what she has learned studying seasonal timing.

Sarracenia purpurea and its buddies are just hanging around waiting until it's warm enough to go outside.

In the myth of Sleeping Beauty, the earth-goddess sinks into her long winter sleep, pricked by winter’s sharp thorn. All is locked in icy repose. Naught thrives save the ivy defying the cold, till the kiss of the golden-haired sun-god stirs a reawakened life.

When the season's passed
But the snow won't go away
Blame Mother Nature

Hobblebush is getting ready.

Pierce Road, #Harvard #Forest.

The trees are just starting to turn for autumn.

When Winter cedes to Spring at last,
She leaves a wreck behind:
A disarray, a muddled hash,
The two of them entwined.
She fights for Spring to let her stay;
She doesn’t want to go away…

though climate change grows,
seasons' rituals lull us
to think they'll repeat

The "Wave" update : Between seasons

Or is it all the seasons in one? Blue, white, green and some orange and brown. Bonus : There's a hidden deer.

Tuesday nature moment from a glorious autumn day last week.

In Peru for a vacation.

It is very strange that I changed seasons -- my first time in the southern hemisphere! It's autumn here -- but I didn't change time zones.

(Yes yes, it's simple, you just go due south a very long way...but part of my brain insists that you can't flip the seasons, and that when I've traveled far for a trip, I should be in a very different time zone.)

You know that winter is over when the sunshine finds its way into the alleys of #Winterthur's old city center. And when there's something like a blue hour again before getting dark. #seasons #Switzerland
