Musings

Yawn

I can tell that morning is arriving earlier. It is the way of the world.

Mind game

I cannot grasp what the situation of the Russian people—and who else?—would be if VP and the oligarchs had not stolen so much wealth from them.

It is March

Totally grooving on this blue-purple. It’s an optimistic, positive color. March snuck up on me. There’s this gigantic, violent mess in Eastern Europe…🇺🇦☮️. I needed to find and enjoy that gorgeous hyacinth.

Sureness

I’m pretty sure this is a Leucojum (genus) specimen.

I’m very sure that what Putin is having done in Ukraine is good for no one, including himself.

View south, afternoon

Today was not as warm as the last few days (when I looked for shadows to stay cool(er)); however, the light was fantastic. Nice to have the trees clear of leaves and the sunlight streaming through. [The beige leaves are mostly beech.]

By the numbers

🇺🇦 Ukraine’s flag colors seem very similar to those of the UnivMichigan. Ukraine strong azure: #0066cc; UMich blue #00274C. Ukraine yellow: #ffcc00; UMich maize: #FFCB05. [All websafe.]

Y Y

I’ve seen the Ukranian President’s name as Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Volodymyr Zelensky. I don’t know what the distinction is/means. I do understand the Ukranian Kyiv (vs the Russian Kiev). Such are the problems of transliteration. And colonization/subjugation.

Count ’em: five

I don’t know if this is the yucca I learned to call Spanish bayonet, however it has stiff, spiky vegetation and looks like a yucca. Yes, I got stabbed getting this shot.

Title refers to the number of ladybugs currently hanging in our upstairs bathroom. It’s the season when this happens.

Dramatic is not dramatized

I kept all the suggested tweaks the photo-fixing software I use offered for this picture. I call it “Daffy Drama.” It’s rather enhanced compared to real-life.

Special exhibit

We “did” culture today. [Better in person.]

Detail of MRO’s dress.

BHO.

Great hands. And the mini-hands show almost 4:30. PM, I assume.
