Tree Palette
Who am I to tell Mother Nature to stick to to three to five colors per design? 😛
Glorious Blooms … Just in Time for Snow!
Last week, we had 80-degree days. Tomorrow morning around 2, snow is “likely,” with an inch of accumulation.
Strange days, indeed.
Did I Ever Tell You How Much I Love Clouds?
One guess where this one was taken.
Split Clouds
Limbs & Roots
Did you know that some trees look the same on top and bottom?
Limbs, branches, twigs stretch up and out, toward the sun; roots and tendrils reach down and out, toward the water, food.
In some trees, roots grow as deep as the limbs are high.
72/365: Bloomin’ Dogwood
I love that the Dogwood is the Virginia state tree and flower because I just adore them … especially in bloom!
I hope I get to take a picture of the pear trees planted up and down Riverside Drive sometime this week. For the shot in my head, I’d probably have to stand in the median, though — not too sure I’m ready to be that daring.
This Dogwood is outside Sacred Heart.
70/365: Cross-Campus Scenery
One of the large oaks beautifying my cold and windy cross-campus treks to and from the computer lab today.
Someone commented on the huge bird nests, but I knew (thanks to my Kevin) that they’re actually squirrels’ nests.
61/365: Red Buds, Baby!
I <3 the dark red of these buds, and I <3 the contrast of the blue sky behind.
A Purple Sign of Spring
Leaving school today, I was so weary.
Snow-day makeups and a later-than-usual Spring Break have us trudging through day after day, week after week, with not a break in sight. Papers from the first semester are still piled up, awaiting the filing I never had time for, since they took back our post-exams workday. Yep, I’m out of paperclips. Yep, I’m out of space. Yep, I’m in need of some R&R.
And then the sun’s warmth enveloped me on the way across the parking lot.
And then, there in front of my car, was a beautiful surprise: purple flowers!
They’re probably weeds … or maybe clover, which may be weeds, too. I don’t know. I’ve never been that good at IDing the flora.
But they were so beautiful! The picture just doesn’t do them justice.
And I SO needed that.
