Charles E. Burchfield, Journals, April 29, 1916

A clear spring day – Vivid sunrise – sunspoked mists – Midmorning expression of season – vivid yellow green lawns – first dandelions out; trees howling orange & white-studded with sparkling white birds up against the grey blue sky – cherry trees commencing to bloom – apple trees studded with YG leaf clusters – Flickers calling bluebirds  redbirds –

Sky turns violet at noon – sunlit houses – blue hazy afternoon yellow sunset – Design –

Moth emerging in bud studded tree by moonlight – Rainy night in a forest, subdued moonlight.
