That is, watching the light. Not watching a mediocre TV comedy.
Later, the skies cleared, and I found the light on Frida. Who is sitting on a special fly-tying table. With a gorgeous walnut top. On the table.
Finally: night light. Really: dusk light. Later we drove into the night. Long day as I awoke at 4:38am (canna tell?). Yawn. G’night.

Valley view. Alternatively: split-rail fence view.
Barn view.
Root view. Note high water draining away after that storm that ended two days ago here.
Long view. And smokey-like. And bluish.

Lily posing on Easter. On our dinner table.
We got outta town and drove into the mountains…where spring is a couple of weeks behind ATL.
And major rain over the last three days made rushing streams and puddles to reflect the blue sky.
The azaleas and dogwoods are in their prime here. Thank you latitude and longitude magic.
Assertive infrastructure above.

Overnight rain created this pool…
and washed the pollen downstream. The air smelled almost clean-pristine, almost because the plants are continuing to pump out the pollen…
so we headed for the mountains. Where the clouds still bedecked the ridges…
another hour later, and clear skies!
To you!
By dusk, we had a great view of Mount Yonah. That’s not the moon, just the reflection of a ceiling light.
And now I will transition to bed…yawn.

I don’t expect these petals to last much longer on the tree; nice on the path for now….
Another path…or paths? Dog and oak?

Took today’s nifty new device on my walk. Discovered I have to stop to see much (otherwise jiggle jiggle can’t-focus very well)…which triggers my walk-measuring device to pause…which is not what I’m supposed to be doing when I’m Out Walking. Next time I’ll venture out other than when I’m Out Walking—and see more! Great light-gathering capability!
This section of the gutter harbored a thick windrow of petals. So pretty.

This was not predicted. We went AGAIN, for the third day in a row, OTP, that is: outside the perimeter. This time for high-quality veggies…and other stuff. No plans to go OTP tomorrow. Seriously. Might get an affliction or something if we did…. Today’s adventure, however, was all electric—gas engine never came on…shows how short a distance OTP we went (not even a tenth of a mile).
More tree blooming documented…plum or cherry, I believe. Saw dogwoods with swelling buds, but no open blooms (in this neighborhood). And that’s the botany-bloom report.

Been seeing these Dandy robustus (not their real name), but today’s the first I noted them in full seed-puff spheres. Not this one, however….
And so the circle-cycle of the seasons rotates another notch.
For the second day in a row, we ventured outside the perimeter, shopping this time. At one of those hunter-fisher-outdoor-y (and overpriced, IMHO) places. With kayaks against the front wall. So ornamental. So yellowy-green.

That is a fake rock. And that is not fake news. It’s the truth.
Wind and rain the last few days have brought down so much organic detritus…including these glorious, red petals. Sorry, camellia.
Meanwhile (I would have written that before Colbert), I am discombobulated as per usual from the time change. The light outside and the clocks do not match, my spidey-sense declares vehemently.

Still enjoying blooming bulbs.
I do like Japanese/deciduous magnolias; I especially enjoy the dark pink ones.
Starvation food—maybe no longer appropriately classified that way, since dandelion greens now are sold at Whole Foods.
