Observations: street, sidewalk, playground

Detritus/graffiti from the Sunday footrace…
Broken sidewalk slope zone…will return to discover what it’s been converted into.
Color and shapes…I’m regressing. Or retro.
Musings
Note small lily pad

We made a pilgrimage to see the Earth Goddess. She’s clearly awaiting spring.
In a sunny part of the garden, tulips…
…and more tulips!
In another water feature…a reflection of leafless tree above.
Eeny, meeny (no meany)

Do I lead with the avian mural?
Or the decrepit machine?
Or the vegetation patterns on a stone wall?
I rather prefer the last one, but I’ll just leave it here at the end….
Jux stah…

It’s all about juxtaposition.
It’s all about shadows and shadow-makers. And orange cones? Wha?
It’s all about bathroom interior decoration…light fixture/ceiling…dare I say?…juxtaposition.
Success

I left the house and thought, hmm, soggy day again. Pretty tough to find a photo subject. And I walked thinking that for a while, noting the nodding heads of the daffodils (done that), and the puddles and sorted sediments from when the rain was heavier.
Then, I thought, geeze, I should have a better attitude.
And, sometime after that, I found this…a seat on a modern-type swing in the playground…with a reflection!
Suuuuuuhnee day

I liked the shadows, and the shapes of the leaves/vegetation that made them, juxtaposed with the warm browns of the wall stone.
For those craving flowers, here’s a deciduous magnolia…
…and forsythia—outdoor forsythia, somehow mixed with a holly. Seem to be strange phyto-bedfellows to me.
Historic Fourth Ward Park in O4W
Saturday, 16 February 2019
Went to the park; the Guru flew Droney. View is to the north. Focus in on the flood-control pond in the center….
Off to the left of the pond, behind a curve of wall, is an sheltered area with sculpted granite…seats. Here’s an artistic shot of an artistic rock. But not soft…only hard seating.
Off on the right, behind trees, is this rock. I think the carapace’s distinctive coloring is really an algal coating. Certainly looks like there’s plenty floating in the pond-water.
And that’s today’s report on Historic Fourth Ward Park.
New verb? valentining?

Flowers for my valentine. Also a free library mural.
And, for my sweetie, a new vehicle.
This, however, is a photo I prepped for yesterday, then neglected to post. The title was to be “Hello, Moon.” Still works.
One time, we met a man named Valentino in Sicily southern Italy in a cave and he blessed us, but that’s a story for another day.
Ain’t Seattle

The prediction was for a drippy afternoon, so I went out mid-morning. Liked this birdbath. Took me two glances before I noticed the reflection.
All the petals on the ground indicate we’ve had wind/rain already. I wonder how many more have dropped with this afternoon’s rain.
No snow, however, so I’m calling that a win.
Record breaking

Historical high this day: 72°F. Predicted high: 77°F. Actual high: 81°F.
Probably don’t need flannel sheets and down duvet to sleep warmly tonight. 😉
