We ventured north today, crossed the state line, and kept going. We navigated mountains, had clouds dampen us, and kept going.
With the change in latitude, we traveled back in spring. Always love dogwoods…
And this rhodo sure surprised me. However, it was in a very protected spot semi surronded by reflective walls, so I figure that’s what (it seems to me) accelerated its blooming.

These shadows from the street light are proof that the leaves are well-out…but not all-out.

We strolled around the lake at Old Fourth Ward Park…
…and encountered a napping mallard family…
…and a pair of large-ish turtles…that may be a family, also…we couldn’t tell.

I looked behind me soon after I left the house on my dawn-ish walk and I saw the sun had almost arrived.
I rounded a couple of corners, tromp tromp, and I saw the almost-up sun illuminating the firehouse floor.

I can’t even bring myself to think about what all these shenanigans emanating from the White House are costing us, and I don’t mean money so much as good will and esteem, and things like that. Instead, I’ll think about the pollen count or something else that’s very positive. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Okay, one more photo from yesterday’s tour…I took this to use here, truth be told, but I was distracted by minutia, and didn’t use it yesterday, so, Shazam, here it is today!

We’re in that transition season when (some of) the grass is still winter-brown, with green accents from early turf-onions. Also, we may be in the coldest phase of this spring, and it’ll be warmer from here on (here’s hoping?).

We’re supposed to have a front come through overnight, so windy storms, perhaps (hopefully?) weaker than the other weekend that caused us to need four large trees removed. Whew. Still, before the winds, somehow a fading camellia blossom found its way to our front steps this afternoon.
