Crocus, Kennebunk, Maine, April 16

Freezing rain coming in sheets sideways,
parking lots flooded with ice water over
the holes in my crocks, crocus huddled
in a bed of slush, my weatherproof jacket
soaked throug in minutes. What a day
for mid-April, nothing short of a betrayal.
The birds are flocking the feeders, and
after one short round of errands, I am
nursing hot coffee over the computer and
the beginnings of a real weather grudge!

And what a lot of good that will do me.

Crocus huddled in a bed of slush, indeed! Not April weather even in Southern Maine. Sony RX10iv at 600mm. Program mode. 1/500th @ f4 @ ISO 2000. (Not bad at all for ISO 2000!) Processed in Polarr and Apple Pbotos.
