Some pictures taken yesterday. The vegetation is really enjoying the warm, wet and cloudy weather, and so are the mosquitoes, especially among the Sava river.

Another picture here. The plants desperately need some water. Spring has taken another setback due to the drought.

The river by the dam:




The small leaves on the birches are already turning brownish:




The site of the first ever Christian church in Finland:










Dry dry dry:


The cherries desperately need some water too :




Veterans' day here, but why is that Aussie flag there?


Ooooh Caaanaadaaa. No, wait...


RIP 1939-45

^^ Where's the uniform blue sky gone? I won't brag tho, it's worse here. Menacing sky:





Got drenched shorty after. I was only wearing a t-shirt, wished I had something else to put on with the cold rain a chilly temps (11°C and windy at that moment):





Someone likes bric a brac. The house opposite was in the same style.





But also

I've never seen yellow leaves in late spring/early summer, even after the record dry spring 2011 and its 24 mm. Dunno, some trees look yellow/brownish at first because of these pollen thingys:

The clear skies will return, it's only in winter when you'll have to be afraid that they never happen again.

Pollen in one of the reasons, but when I looked closer, higher up the small leaves looked nice and green, but further down already bone dry and drying out. Those cherries looked like they're really suffering.

The rainfall total is still less than 14mm for April, and just some 1.5mm fell during the latter half of March. And as we had no snowpack to speak of, there weren't any excess moisture to suck up from the soil either.

Westbrook, CT. Outlet Shopping Mall. Beautiful Morning before the crowd comes in.




Big difference on I-95 itself from South Central CT driving into SouthWest with more green blooms on trees.

Aside from the typical congestion...blooms are way ahead just 30 minutes south of Branford but still behind the norm.

Branford Top. Norwalk Bottom.

A webcam looking north from the university in Madison: Soil Science Web Cam. Green grass and buds, but the leaves aren't out yet.

Such a beautiful place, especially with all that snow.

Has anyone around here climbed that thing? I did so back in 2001 - nearly fell of that thing coming back down...lol. The scary point is looking down from that little lip at the top, where it's about a mile straight down - whew!

Have you climbed El Capitan? The view from the top must be impressive too.

Forgot about the snowpack, big difference from here. Here some small trees (don't remember the name) have yellow leaves when they're blooming. Not birches nor cherries tho.

Here is some from today.

Straight out of the camera JPEG's, didn't feel like shooting RAW and editing when the landscape is so bare...
