Spring glory of big pear tree in blossom Driving, biking, or walking the city streets or on rural roads this time of year it is hard not to notice the explosions of trees in blossom once the spring season is well under way. While many deciduous trees spread pollen in modest flowers, some of the decorative ones use the opposite strategy to get the attention of pollinators, rather than to let the wind do the work of making seeds for the trees to drop.

Folk wisdom on display Before mass production and consumers buying all manner of things, folk wisdom was carried in songs, public buildings, household decorations, and word of mouth. But now the nuggets of life lesson may sometimes appear on T-shirts, beer coasters, chocolate wrappers, teabag labels, cereal boxes, or in this case, on the back of a jeep that has stopped at the convenience store.

Strips of growing land at the community gardens According to the crops and vegetables planted, the look of the plot changes.

Pond at Ball-Perkins Park from the SW end of the property As the community of trees open their buds, release their pollen, and follow with new leaves, each species has a slightly different time table. As a result, the many shades of red, brown, and green can be seen in this view well above the treetop level. Press L for lightbox (large) view; click the image or press Z for full image display.

"Farm is My Classroom" showcases farm wisdom: Learning Among Apple Blossoms In the heart of nature’s classroom, a young explorer stands amidst the verdant orchard. With a beaming smile, they hold aloft a green apple, the fruit of knowledge freshly plucked from the tree of learning. The message on their shirt, <a href="https://naturekidsco.com/products/farm-classroom-kids-organic-tshirt?_pos=3&_sid=ccfc4ff5c&_ss=r" rel="noreferrer nofollow">"FARM IS MY CLASSROOM"</a>speaks volumes of the invaluable lessons learned through the touch of soil, the scent of blossoms, and the taste of sun-ripened sweetness. This image captures the essence of experiential education, where every leaf whispers a new discovery and every harvest brings wisdom.
Wide views before branches fill with new leaves The days between snowmelt and leaves appearing is when the forest shows long views unobstructed by green and shadows. Days like today let the light fill the forest floor and the eye can wander freely far and wide, too. This panorama shows the electrical lines right-of-way that cuts across part of the Blandford Nature Center lands with a stream running through to the left in the lowest part of the small ravines.

Potatoes in many colors and characteristics These days it is not uncommon to see heirloom and other kinds of potatoes than ones for baking or mashing or deep-frying. Red, orange, yellow, or purple add color and variety to the menu. From the wild forms of tuber in South America and the many domesticated specialty types created by Inka growers in the past and present, the vegetable have come a long way - a favorite food on all continents and maybe even on the international Space Station, too.

Environmentally verified fenced vegetable field The 10' fencing seems to be effective at keeping deer and other would-be vegetable poachers from pilfering produce at the small farm on the grounds of Blandford Nature Center and the city school operated on these grounds, too.

Where words, music, rhythm, and pace all come together A few people have a taste for poetry, an ear for rhythm and linguistic texture and pattern, and an eye for poetic moments in the day or during a lifetime. But the majority come to love poetry by accident, by training, or decades after life's other distractions and preoccupations finally stop taking up one's attention. Only then does the music of words become audible. This photo from one of the city branch libraries announces that April (when Shakespeare is supposed to have been born) is National Poetry Month. Consonant with the theme of word pictures and sound delight, the drawers adjacent to the announcement sign are filled with CDs for borrowers to listen to, many of them filled with lyrics that can stand along as poetry, unaccompanied by a band or an orchestra.
