This Yellow Throated Warbler blends in against the yellowy green of the new oak leaves.

At some temperatures ice freezes from the air, even on a sunny day.

The Duluth Rose Garden overlooks the twin ports.

An almost blooming thistle, and a ladybug. The red/green contrast is almost as good as yellow/blue.
