This isn’t the colorful, spring-inspired look you might expect to see this time of year.
Grasses have not grown high yet; the places where they dominate are still brown with last year’s tattered remains.
At a local preserve, a plexiglass sign lost it’s text, creating a dirty window into the grassy field beyond.
The contrast between the grass itself and grass obscured by scratched plexiglass interested me.
(Maybe I should have photographed the bear scat we saw on the path, too).
Also seen that day,
Moss and petals:

A tight fist of unfurling Bracken fern:

And trees blessed by lichens and moss:
The faded grasses and old plexiglass are quite striking together.

That’s nice – I wouldn’t necessarily have thought it would appeal to you – but that just proves I have more to learn! 🙂

.. funny: after responding to you earlier about our reactions to our own artwork, it dawned on me that these reactions themselves rarely stay the same for long.

I’m always interested in things seen though other things, how it changes the object – that once-removed idea. And it’s twice removed, tat least, with my photo, and not the post…

Intriguing set of images. The grasses with plexiglass are intensely interesting. You’ve quite the eye catching that. The other spring images are simply lovely. Lovely.
