Musings

I saw this and thought: I didn’t know periwinkle came in white. No doubt about what it is. And the internet indicates: sure enough—periwinkle has white varieties.

I saw this and thought…a weeping cherry in white. Or very light pink. Ten steps later the observation sunk in and I turned around to get a shot, having figured out my blog-theme-of-the-day.

This one is a freebie add-on. It’s a magnolia (Magnolia stellata), but I think of magnolias as having a pink tinge or full-on pinkness…my bias. So, a third blanca.

Even though for many people today’s color theme is green. I’m not Catholic and I’m not Irish, so, I’m going a different way.

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

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

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

Pi day! We had [yum] takeout pizza.

I’m torn. The weather’s perfect for window’s open, gentle breezes. However. Those breezes currently are laden with pollen. Sneeze. Sniffle.

Over the last three days, the apples/pears totally opened! I found pockets of strong scent while out walking.

This is the photo I didn’t get posted yesterday. Operator error. Somehow I turned bluetooth off, and didn’t realize it stayed off. Fixed now! So: look at those big petals, ready to become slippery underfoot!

These Japanese magnolias have large petals, and when they fall, they make the sidewalk slick! Some of the camellia petals can do this, too.

I had another picture to add, but my technology is not cooperating. Yes, I restarted both my phone and the laptop, and checked which WiFi “dude” they’re attached to…and still, no photo downloading. Maybe tomorrow.

This afternoon, the GA governor announced that beginning next Monday morning, residents aged 55 and up are eligible for getting the vaccine. Yay! That’s us! That moves the age down from 65; wonder how difficult it’ll be to snag an appointment…stay tuned.

I finally heard the clarification that having enough vaccine for every adult in the USA is NOT THE SAME as every adult having RECEIVED a shot (or two).

Good that the professional sports stadium will be hosting a vaccine site capable of giving 6K shots per day. It will be open every day for eight weeks. Hope we will be eligible; it’s an easy 5-mile drive from here!

Someone’s little winter veggie bed is burgeoning in response to spring weather, and now going to seed.

After five days of grey and overcast, we’re enjoying bright days, and today was the second of those. Joyous.

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

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

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