New Buckeye Leaves Bursting Forth!
Getting out of bed this morning was really painful, and took several hours to pull off, but I am very glad I did because I discovered there had been lots of changes in the forest overnight. Several new species of flowers completely invisible yesterday afternoon had not only broken through the soil overnight, but were already in full bloom this afternoon! And, the new leaves of the buckeye trees are now bursting forth! Photos I took of buckeye buds along my trail this week appear below.
These first 3 shots are of the same buckeye bud on 3 different days:

“discovered there are lots of changes in the forest overnight”
I love the ideas that sentence conjures up. The photos are great. What made you decide to take them like that? beautiful budding growth and renewal.
Those clusters of leaves are so cool; I love the time-lapse effect of the three photos. I like the ridged texture of the leaves, and their almost olive color.
Buckeyes (nuts? seeds?) have such a beautiful, mahogany sheen; I used to try to find as many of them as I could when I was a kid. You could rub them on the sidewalk and then press them against someone’s skin, and it would burn. Ahh, childhood — kids tormenting each other with the gifts of nature
