It's spring!

My field site is in full bloom and as such, the field work season is in full swing!

While tracking tree leaf phenology, I found some other gems in the forest:

White oak seedling leafing out. Oak seedlings are generally a rare find at my field site, so it's great to see healthy ones!

Flowers everywhere!
Violet
Found a little blue egg!

In other news - after six years, my hiking shoes are finally being retired. They served me well, but...

...It's time to replace them now that they can eat each other!
That's all for now.
