Backyard Late-Winter Nature in New Jersey. Three Days to Spring — Daffodils in Bloom.
I’ve been busy at work while trying to get ready for a photography workshop in Death Valley. I did have a chance to photograph the daffodils blooming across the street when I got home. It was actually 79°F outside, and I was able to open windows and let some fresh air into the house for the first time since last year.
Winter Nature in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Delaware River Flooding at Lambertville and New Hope.
When I checked the USGS website this morning I saw that the Delaware river was above flood stage at Lamberville/New Hope. I cross the Delaware River at the Lambertville/New Hope bridge when going to work in Pennsylvania. I went to take a look and took a few images. The river level was high enough to start to flood the Lambertville Inn parking lot and deposit a lot of trash and debris. Every several minutes a tree floated down the river. The Lambertville Inn is built to allow flood water to flow through and not reach the main floors of the building, and have an image looking through this open space. I assume that the Inn was built this way to protect it because of a history of flooding at this location.

Backyard Winter Nature in New Jersey. Purple Crocuses Blooming — Spring is Coming!
These images of Purple Crocuses Blooming were taken across the street from my home. Weather permitting I will try to get some macro images of the Snow Drops tomorrow. The Daffodils are only a week away from blooming.
