Vernal Equinox

Is it just me or am I starting to sound like a broken record here...? Another day with crazy weather: wind, rain, hail, sun, snow... you name it, we had it today. (well except for "warm and sunny"). But yeah pretty wild. Looked out the in the backyard this afternoon and saw swirling hail and snow. But - Today is the day that light defeats darkness... from here on out, the days are longer than the nights!

More Blossoms

Little pink jobs. It's one of those days where I just happened to whip out the camera and shoot these on a tree in a neighbor's front yard on my way home from work, and it's a good thing too. Because here it is Late O-clock already and this is all I got for the day.

Strings and Frets

We had our first gig of the season last night and my head was all over that. Consequently I missed my first day of daily photos for the year. So now the pressure is off. Kinda like that first scratch on a new car. Any more after this will not be such a big deal. I knew it would happen sooner or later, but I was kinda banking on "later". But no worries - we had a great time last night. And besides - I'll probably find some way to slide a photo in there for yesterday at some point so as to avoid any holes in my 365 ;-)

Cherry Blossoms

Walking home from town tonight just after sunset, we saw this cherry tree illuminated by the street lamp above it. Seems like it's still Winter, but Spring is just around the corner. Can't believe we're half-way through March already!

Sticker Bushes

I didn't know what to call these things - but they're kinda like sticker bushes so I guess that works. With the change to daylight savings time, I saw these on the drive out to band practice for the first time tonight. Usually, I've been getting there after dark and driving past these without knowing they were there, but today I got this surprise on the driveway in the last bit of daylight.

Sunset Channel

Another day with a lot of different weather - Sun, rain, hail, snow and then a beautiful sunset over our island on the ferry ride home. This girl and her little brother were diggin' on the cool sea breeze blowing through their hair as daylight faded.
