flora
Forsythia branches show the first hint of yellow—not yet blooms, but the promise of them.
fauna
Canada geese in V-formation, heading north. Their calls echo after they pass.
sky
Sunset at 7:15. Three weeks ago it was 6:30. The light grows.
earth
The compost pile is steaming in the morning cold. Decomposition never stopped.
