Moon phase: Waxing gibbous
Weather: Feels like spring
Phenology: First violets are coming up

A group of what I believe are tulip trees (Liriodendron tulipifera), aka tulip poplars or yellow poplars, catching the afternoon light in Rock Creek Park.


I'm not sure what this orangey shrub is because I didn't take a look at in the field, but looking at the photo I think it might be a juneberry (Amelanchier).


Trees and branches reflecting in the calm waters of Rock Creek.

Snow-covered tree in late fall.
