From Bethlehem reporting about 2/20-21/11: Yesterday I saw daffodils peeking up through the ground, onion grass, and many more drops. Today, the snow drops in a different way. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy name is John Zeiger and I am a volunteer working on developing signage for the Westchester Land Trust, in New York. Would you mind if I used your red maple bud image for the sign? You would of course be properly credited.
