A Bright Spot In The Woods

March 2, 2026

Midafternoon today, snow has been coming down in a heavy manner, as if it’s in a hurry to cover everything. A brilliant dot of scarlet in a Flowering Dogwood tree (Cornus florida). Just what the second day of meteorological spring needs.

Late afternoon, fog comes in. The snow stops, at least for the moment, leaving an inch and a half.
