New Arrival

In less than one week, my tiny palm tree more that doubled in size. From the moment I spied the long spindly arms reaching out of the heart of the palm, I was mesmerized. The creature-like appendages were breaking free from their confines and putting on an artistic display for all to see. The sequence below heralds the arrival of the new fronds from soft, fuzzy, and entwined to tall fully developed arms swaying proudly in the wind.

Springtime In the Park

I always know it is springtime when I am overwhelmed by the urge to go to the local park and watch the ducks. I don't exactly know the reason for this desire to go visit my feathered friends at the pond, but I imagine it has something to do with my childhood. I grew up with a strong appreciation for the great outdoors and all the creatures who call it home. Once the cold grip of winter was finally released, it was time to head outside and reconnect with my neighborhood nature buddies.
