I am a scientist by training (Eckerd College, BSc; Caltech, Ph.D.). I worked for 27 years as a Chemist in the Pharmaceutical Industry developing processes to manufacture medicines for human and animal health. I now spend my time as a photographer and world traveler. My interests include the natural world, wildlife, landscapes, sky, and seascapes, travel, and astrophotography. I look for unique ways of viewing the world and presenting my images. I have traveled to over 55 countries in six continents, often on Semester at Sea voyages. While at home in New Jersey, I spend time on home renovation and expansion of a wildflower garden/meadow.

This is how mine usually look at this time of year, but right now they're buried under a foot of snow, so no. 🙁
+Leon Shaner Several days ago this was still under snow, but since the wall is facing south the snow melted. Unfortunately, there is now a prediction for snow again next week…..

A most lovely early Spring break you are experiencing here, +David Mathre 🙂
+Sofie Løve Forsberg With all of the troubles that Honey Bees are having, it is always good to see them finding food. It has been a long winter here.
Spring is there , wonderful!
Love these. Wish they grew here. One other photo you had of them before seemed more blue…was that the light or reflection from the snow?
Colors for this flower vary: "colors vary enormously, although lilac, mauve, yellow, and white are predominant."
Beautiful!
Beautiful to see and the bee is a bonus. Aunt Mary
