In the first week of May, an explosion of tulips add a bright accent to the Suffield Academy campus.
In the afternoon of Thursday, May 14, long-time Suffield residents, Jeb Walton and Jenn DiGennaro watch a bear cub who decided to check out the trees in their backyard on Russell Avenue.
There are many things in nature that are fleeting: the monosyllabic call of the woodcock, the chorus of spring peepers, the big travel night for amphibians, shooting stars, fields bursting with fireflies, fluffy dandelions heads, and, of course, spring wildflowers.
This picture of a beautiful hawk soaring above Main Street was captured by Karen Jason.
The photographer was too late to picture the lacy, half-inch snow clusters as they floated down onto the spring greenery on April 18, but it was a record-breaking amount for this late in April.
During one of our explorations during the past few weeks, my husband, Mel, and I discovered this delightfully beautiful State Conservation land in West Suffield off Babbs Road, just down from the entrance to Babb’s Beach.
Richard Binns planted these pollinator-friendly plants on a steep bank behind Second Baptist Church last spring.
