arctangent > First leaves...hophornbeam or ironwood. Every tree and shrub in the woods seems to have its own unique shade of green for new leaves. Once the leaves mature, the color variation seems, to my eyes, much less. So, too, do new twigs have unique colors...colors that fade as the twigs age. This sprout, with red twigs and bright yellow-green leaves, demanded my attention. The darker green leaves in the background are wild geranium. April 25, 2009 NW Ohio
arctangent > Young hickory leaves. I love the newly opened leaves of trees and shrubs of this time of year. You see colors that last just a few brief days. In the case of these hickory leaves, there is a definite reddish cast to them. When I saw this shot on the computer, I was surprised to see that insects had already made inroads on these very young leaves. April 25, 2009 NW Ohio
arctangent > Spicebush is a low tree or shrub. When it blooms, a yellow cloud or mist of blossoms seems to float through the woods several feet above the ground. In this picture, all of the yellow, not just close up, but as far as you can see, is spicebush. April 25, 2009 Secor Park, NW Ohio
arctangent > Cloud of spicebush blossoms. Walking through a woods filled with blooming spicebush, on a day warm enough to encourage the subtle aromatic fragrance from the blooms, is a special treat...one I look forward to each year. April 25, 2009 Secor Park, NW Ohio
arctangent > Spicebush closeup. (Lindera benzoin) Look closely and see the tiny spider lurking. For a size perspective, each individual blossom is perhaps 1/8 - 1/4" across. April 25, 2009 Secor Park, NW Ohio
