I spotted The Moment when the dawn-pinks were raging, although I didn’t linger to discover if the sky would get brighter.

We got to watch the sign painters in action while waiting at a traffic light.

I do believe my basil is moving into blooming. Gotta change that. Pruning time!
Speaking of seasonal change in plants, we watched “The Madison,” and I got grumpy because the grass is all in late summer mode (dry, brown, and in seed), yet they found ripe strawberries in the garden. While strawberries come later there than farther south, they don’t come that late. Pretty sure.

Here’s a wide-angle of the sky, now accumulating leaves.

These are new leaves at ground level. Later, these become almost leathery and stiff.

Not an alien, but I forgot the name. Loooong legs and not a spider. Proudly out of focus….

It’s been some time since I took a sun’s-a-comin’ shot, but I did today, to show how much tree-leafing-out has transpired.

That’s the moon a few minutes ago. It’ll be full in two nights, but it’s still bright enough to blow out the photo.

Spring twilight. Nothing more to be said. Apologies for the keystoning making the trees tippy.

I took this early and knew it was blurry/crappy, and intended several times to get a shot of the wee viola/whatever that’s in bloom in the grass, but I neglected to follow through.

I thought this shot would show more orange glow by the horizon. You can also see the tree-leaves are beginning to emerge.
This was the first morning that seemed close to normal after the time change.

We have to have caught up our rainfall deficit a bit the last few days. I got this basil cluster to plant and failed to do so before the deluge, but it might not have been any better off if I had.
