There are so many things one can do in a time of self quarantine. Cancellations have cracked open freshly minted hours of free time. Yesterday’s competing tasks: tidy up my office or take a walk.
No contest

All in good time
Spring is officially here but it’s not yet all-spring-all over. These trees are just steps away from the rapturously blooms I showed you on Monday. Different trees, different timing.
Roof lines
Sometimes things just line up.
Aloha
I noticed this on the back of a car the other day. It seems a nice sentiment for these uncertain times.
Lake Hogback
There’s a narrow road that goes up and over a ridge called Hogback. On its southern side it looks down into this broad, open expanse of land. At one time part of the area you see on the right had building lots for sale. But in a wet year like the one we’ve had the land floods. Eventually the water evaporates or the water table subsides enough to absorb it. So far this year there’s still plenty of flooding. The ducks are happy.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day for those of the Irish persuasion. Erin go bragh!
Ahhh…pink!
One early and welcome sight here in spring is flowering trees in the landscape. After a long winter, I personally declare them a public service.
There are a couple of streets planted with rows of flowering plum trees that are a quiet festival of pink right now.
It was sunny yesterday and Fifth Avenue was a gorgeous place to walk.
Ahhh…green!
Two friends received snow in varying amounts on Friday. At a lower elevation there was evidence of new life starting. Spring always comes in fits and starts.
