#MapleLeafs
Outside my bedroom window.
It’s been an extremely dry winter, only a few inches of snow since the beginning of Fall. Lawns are mostly brown except where some watering has been done, but grasses are hardy and can withstand the dryness better than trees, especially nonnative varieties that are all over the place. I haven’t paid attention to when leaves have appeared in previo…

Maple leaf cluster at the growth end of a twig, just a couple days since budding. Backlit by afternoon sun, bright orange. An out of focus branch in background, blue sky behind everything. April 2026
A maple leaf cluster just beginning to burst from their buds at the growth end of a twig. Maybe two days since the buds first appeared. Backlit by afternoon sun, a dark, out of focus branch  and blue sky in background. April 2026.
A small maple leaf cluster maybe three days after bursting from buds. Backlit by afternoon sun, a few branches and sky out of focus in background. April 2026
