benign neglect

i have been spending the last couple days (read daylight hours) doing spring clean-up in my yard. i have the luxury of time, so i have been doing a more thorough job than previous years. i like what i’m learning and discovering–yesterday i identified a patch of wild ginger that i never knew i had! on the other hand, although i just said i have the luxury of time, there are still only 10 or so good sunlit hours to make a daily STILL photo. sounds like a lot unless you are carefully cleaning up three acres of benignly neglected woods. so forgive me if this image is a slight repetition of a recent theme. i have been happily squandering my luxuriously empty days.
