The monkeys were making lots of noise.
But the Spring was pretty quiet.
I found my statue in São Paulo.
We saw capybaras…kinda
Special thanks to Christian for showing us around.
Science! Psuedo-science! Nature! Art! Nonsense!

The walk by the river gets better every time we do it.

Spring springs eternal. Or around here, at least three times. This is peak number 2 of 2023 Spring.



Bleeding heart in bloom.

This is the flaming bush from the old testament (as far as I know anyway).

For more bluebells, see this posting.






Celandine poppy


Red elderberry


Dutchman’s britches

It’s early for the peak. But the peak it is along the banks of the Shenandoah.

Romey looks like a bluebell too.




Moonshine does not look like a bluebell. Nor does he smell like one.

There are also other flowers available.

The bluebells are peaking in mid-April this year (a bit early), so we are outta here, headed to Norway for more winter. Because we, um, actually we think we’re nuts.
Here are some pictures from the daily walk.
