Dandelions and a Twelve-Wheeler at Cherry Hill Road.

The seasons change quickly in eastern Pennsylvania. This is a serious contrast to our experiences in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, where winter seems to last for half the year.

In early April lush greenery abounded at Cherry Hill Road in Strasburg, Pa. Kris and I, aimed to roll-by Strasburg Rail Road’s returned 11am train led by 4-8-0 475. I wanted to catch the flowering dandelions with the train.

I positioned my Nikon Z7-II with 24-70mm lens near to the ground, and composed my photos using the adjustible rear screen, which allowed me to look down.

A few days later the field was cut and the dandelion flowers turned to fluff.
