4-2-14: I like sunny spring days. They make me smile. :) This is the continuing photo journal of my hyacinth bulb. I just thought the bulb, itself, was interesting. Rather interesting small shelf fungus on a very small dead tree stump.

4-1-14: Somehow, this posting never made it. I know I posted it last night. April Fool's, I guess. :)

3-31-14: Who ever said March goes out like a lamb? We had snow last night. :( This morning, after I walked the dog and was getting ready for work, I saw a group of chickadees in the forsythia bush. There are two chickadees in this photo.... Snow? Who Ordered It? While out with the...

3-30-14: It's been just generally dismal and windy out. Now it is snowing. To see green things growing, I took this of some of my succulents, which live in spite of me. :)

3-29-14: While out and and about running errands this morning, I saw these two geese walking across a still frozen pond. The Couple I then looked to the right of the pond, and up on the hill, were two horses, and a man spreading hay for them. Early Spring Morning It was nice to take...

3-28-14: During the brief time that the rain stopped and the sky lightened a little (very little, in fact :) ), I snapped this of a rather perplexed-looking robin. Hmmmmm....

3-27-14: Today, was one of those crazy days after work. By the time I got home, I realized that I still needed a photo for today. I will warn you, it is one of those opportunistic feline photos. There is Something Just Not Right Down There The dog had just walked by. :)

3-26-14: It did not feel much like spring today with temperatures hovering in the low 20s F, lots of wind and more than a fair number of snow squalls. To keep thinking spring, I checked my resurrected hyacinth from last year. Hydroponic roots can be interesting. Water Logged

3-25-14: Every day, I pass the site of the former MacArthur middle school. It was flooded out after the double onslaught of hurricanes Irene and Lee. Because of the mold & asbestos issues, it took almost a year for the demolition crew to take the school apart before they replace it with...

3-24-14: I went to dulcimer practice for the first time in over a year and a half. It was nice to get back into the swing of things. I bought it about 4 years ago for a very good price. I wanted one with cat sound holes, but this one was custom made for someone who decided she did not want...

3-23-14: I looked in the tree and something did not look right. There was a brown blob that did not match the color of the tree bark. Upon closer inspection, it was this chipmunk. I think I terrified it with my camera. Instead of going down the tree and running off into the bushes, it...

3-22-14: I love spring days like this: sunny and windy. It really helps after a long, cold, icky winter (and I like winter). I caught this chickadee just at he was landing on the tree branch. Getting Settled You know it is spring when you hear the geese way before you even see them in the...

3-21-14: When I got out of work, it was a beautiful afternoon in the upper 40s and very sunny. That made for a very conducive afternoon to take some photos. I saw this ice melting, and all I could think of was winter's last scream. Maybe melting ice is where Edvard Munkchgot his idea (not)...

3-20-14: Happy first day of spring! Nothing is really growing around here, yet. Give it a week or two, but my pothos is happily springing out leaves. At least something thinks it is spring. :)

3-19-14: Today was definitely a day for the books. Besides students being beyond weird and bizarre, it started to drizzle while we, the photography class, was outside. Students are total wimps. I did get a photo of a colorful paperclip, though. :)

3-18-14: I took advantage that the sky was absolutely clear and blue this afternoon. That is a rarity around here. We get lots of cloudy days, and clear days usually only occur at night. :)

3-17-14: Yesterday was carbonation bubbles in seltzer, today is weary looking snow piles. I guess I must continue with my abstract water photos. :) I was out with the photography class today and we were taking texture photos, until one of the kids spotted the very fat, well-fed...

3-16-14: Seltzer bubbles can be really interesting... Bubbles
