Musings

On the cusp

This is the only petals-open dogwood I found today; more on the way!

Cute house…front door open, and curtains in the window. No wrecking ball, just a cruncher. I’m guessing by 8:15 tomorrow it won’t be a cute house any longer.

It’s spring

Row blooming trees

I was quite surprised to see this plane flying an advertising banner circling, I think, Piedmont Park. I wouldn’t have thought, even though it was a fine SPRING day, that there were enough people there (in these COVID times) to make the flight worth the cost. I couldn’t read a single word from where I was, so I don’t know what was being pitched.

Backlit blooms

Strong natural backlighting. Nice!

Lucky 47

Puddles rain

Serious rain as a front came through during rush hour. As we were enjoying our coffee. 😉

Clearing sky

After it began to clear, we headed down Highway 41 on a mission.

Cafeteria ceiling

In a high school cafeteria. Go Tigers!

I was number 47 to get a Pfizer shot! My lucky number.

Bud weed

On my late-walk…buds and weeds and flowers.

Leaves new

And new leaves. Hello, Spring.

On the fence

Fence

Fence game! What doesn’t fit? As in: what isn’t fence?

Lilac big eye

From an animated movie, I hypothesize, and I especially like the glitter!

Blooming fence

A big scent cloud surrounds this blooming fence-covering vine.

Celebration confirmed

Rosemary

Pi day! We had [yum] takeout pizza.

Hypotheticals

Party tent

I’m guessing a quinceañera, given the location amidst low-income housing with mostly Hispanic renters, but it may be a birthday celebration. Or?

Pre sunset

Approaching sunset. The camera makes it more sunset-y than it looked to my eye.

Warped values

Rock n bench

So, it’s the significant and weighty International Women’s Day, and instead the airwaves are awash in Megan and Harry…and Archie…and Oprah, too. Sooooo…half kinda fits “achievements of women.”

Closed Sunday

Industrial scene

This small industrial complex next to the old railroad grade, now an important artery for foot, bicycle, and scooter/etc. traffic, makes specialized railroad “cars.” With the gates closed and the sun glinting off the exterior ventilation ducts, it waits for the tumult to launch anew on Monday morning.

Paying forward

Rosemary blooms

$1.9 trillion covid-relief package passed! [Sorry there isn’t more text; I have a water wall to solve….]

Small things are big

Camellia white droplets

I thought about light-and-shadow off and on today. Overnight rain droplets on this white camellia with oblique lighting.

Sculpture lineup

And these lovely animal sulptures: goat, cow, and braying donkey.

Glass light catcher

Conchoidal fracture making radial reflections on this light-catcher that’s an interesting shade of blue.
