I was quite surprised to see this plane flying an advertising banner circling, I think, Piedmont Park. I wouldn’t have thought, even though it was a fine SPRING day, that there were enough people there (in these COVID times) to make the flight worth the cost. I couldn’t read a single word from where I was, so I don’t know what was being pitched.
Strong natural backlighting. Nice!

“Las rosas” can mean “the pink ones” or “the roses.” Or both. Here, it’s the pink ones. From our property. Hyacinths.
And redbud. With an emerging leaf cluster.
No roses.
And, I have no idea what the Spanish name is of the flower we call pinks. Fortunately for this discussion, there are none on our property….

Serious rain as a front came through during rush hour. As we were enjoying our coffee. 😉
After it began to clear, we headed down Highway 41 on a mission.
In a high school cafeteria. Go Tigers!
I was number 47 to get a Pfizer shot! My lucky number.
On my late-walk…buds and weeds and flowers.
And new leaves. Hello, Spring.

I saw this and thought: I didn’t know periwinkle came in white. No doubt about what it is. And the internet indicates: sure enough—periwinkle has white varieties.
I saw this and thought…a weeping cherry in white. Or very light pink. Ten steps later the observation sunk in and I turned around to get a shot, having figured out my blog-theme-of-the-day.
This one is a freebie add-on. It’s a magnolia (Magnolia stellata), but I think of magnolias as having a pink tinge or full-on pinkness…my bias. So, a third blanca.
Even though for many people today’s color theme is green. I’m not Catholic and I’m not Irish, so, I’m going a different way.

The headlines for my walk today: rain, making pollen-painted puddles.
Screen-time focus: mapping archaeological site locations in Iberia, especially caves. More an obsession than a research need.

I’m torn. The weather’s perfect for window’s open, gentle breezes. However. Those breezes currently are laden with pollen. Sneeze. Sniffle.

Over the last three days, the apples/pears totally opened! I found pockets of strong scent while out walking.
This is the photo I didn’t get posted yesterday. Operator error. Somehow I turned bluetooth off, and didn’t realize it stayed off. Fixed now! So: look at those big petals, ready to become slippery underfoot!

This afternoon, the GA governor announced that beginning next Monday morning, residents aged 55 and up are eligible for getting the vaccine. Yay! That’s us! That moves the age down from 65; wonder how difficult it’ll be to snag an appointment…stay tuned.

I’m guessing a quinceañera, given the location amidst low-income housing with mostly Hispanic renters, but it may be a birthday celebration. Or?
Approaching sunset. The camera makes it more sunset-y than it looked to my eye.

So, it’s the significant and weighty International Women’s Day, and instead the airwaves are awash in Megan and Harry…and Archie…and Oprah, too. Sooooo…half kinda fits “achievements of women.”
