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.

I just stepped out to get a moon shot, well, the photo kind, but I wasn’t terribly stable, so the moon is blown-out.
