Figure 1 – Lemon and lime, Concord, MA.(c) DE Wolf 2015.

OK, I am officially declaring summer in New England.  It seems remarkable.  Barely more than a month ago, I was photographing frazil and pancake ice on Fresh Pond and now we are in summer. Spring is an iffy affair in Massachusetts.  The usual scenario is clear sailing from winter to summer with a brief mud season in between.  Well, there was precious little of that this year.  Still I cannot understand how after all that snow, we could be having water shortages. Not to worry much of the United States Congress has declared that there is no global warming. What a relief that is.  I mean, I was starting to give in to the ravings of my inner scientist.  Don’t be sarcastic, Wolf.  I am sorry. They are morons, the lot of them.  Well back to pleasanter things.  Everything is green.  It is in the high seventies (twenties to the civilized world), the birds are singing, and the flowers are blooming.

With the photograph of Figure 1, which I call “Lemon and Lime.” I’ll let it speak for itself, since some languages do not distinguish lemon from lime.  For most of us the eye does and the two colors are glorious, intense, and wonderful.
