"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."

Leaves, and Flowers, and Buds, OH MY!

Observing the leaves, buds, and flowers at my place by the Waterfront was fun despite the rain! I noticed that the bushes are now growing new plant matter, the trees new buds, moss is forming, and flowers are blooming among other signs of life! I'm thinking that since these buds seem to have sprouted overnight, before I head home for the semester, I might be able to see flowers on the tree branches!

These buds cover the Serviceberry trees in my spot!
Some of the old berries are still hanging, but these new buds are bountiful now!


LOVE these flowers and their bright fuschia color!


The lake is unbelievably high!! After visiting my place so much this semester, and having experience with it last year, it is obvious that this is a record setting rain season for Lake Champlain...

A lovely photo of the waterfront, although on a dreary day.
