This is a serious contrast to our experiences in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, where winter seems to last for half the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In early April lush greenery abounded at Cherry Hill Road in Strasburg, Pa. Kris and I, aimed to roll-by Strasburg Rail Road&#8217;s returned 11am train led by 4-8-0 475. I wanted to catch the flowering dandelions with the train. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few days later the field was cut and the dandelion flowers turned to fluff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
