Witching hour
Witch hazel floral debut, home
I thought this was a sharper image than it turned out to be, and I was inclined to let the event it captured wait for documentation until I got a better shot. But one of the main reasons I started this visual journal was to have a record of phenology: the timing of various natural history events that are key to keeping tabs on the progress of the seasons. This is surely one of the most critical items in nature's calendar: the opening of the Witch Hazel flowers, Hamamelis virginiana put forth its debut blossoms today, so, for better or worse, here's photographic proof. When the wind calms down and more of the curious crepe-paper petals appear, there'll be an opportunity for a more perfect portrait.
