Musings

Pairs, mostly

One great blue heron, two mallards (left).

Two turtles, two fish.

Two-part building.

Old Fourth Ward Park includes a flood-water pond that retains water year-round, presently green with algae. These days, tall buildings mostly surround it.

Warming week

A lovely dawn-sky…

…heralded a sunny day.

Bloomins

I managed to insert my walk between spates of rain. I’ve been seeing that the Magnolia liliiflora are blooming here and there. I finally spotted one I could approach with my camera (aka phone).

On the home front, the camellia decorations on the hood of the car continue…not so pretty when the blooms are freeze-fading, but still artful.

Unhurried spring

I can tell the equinox is making its slow approach (by the changing time I have to step out for my sun’s-coming photos).

Refresh(ing)

Proof I can get mandarins in focus. Yup, we got another bag today.

Spay-shull

I stepped out for an early morning sky-shot and found con-trails, a rarity I think.

Tangy sweet

We’ve been mandarin-ing here. Mighty tasty!

Night light

This is a street light, not the moon, but I liked the visual drama. Speaking of drama (kinda), it’s already 10 Feb!

Early spring diets

We went out to do an errand and discovered that a squirrel had been feeding on the camellia bud hearts above the car. Is that the floral equivalent of maple sap-syrup?

SpeedRacer! Touchdown!

I meant to post this yesterday…we had a Mardi Gras parade in our neighborhood. This was afterwards, just normal illegal parking. Not all the festivities this weekend had to do with athletes.
