Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey. Life and Death.
The Forsythia and Cherry Trees are in bloom. While walking in my back yard I found the carcass of a young deer near my garden. It probably died during the long and snowy winter.

The weather report for next week indicates the possibility of rain, sleet, and snow. I would rather be in a desert viewing spring wildflowers — hint, hint.

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.

The first daffodil flower to open across the street. This location is facing west so gets the some extra warmth.



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.
