Tonight's View

 

Up to the tower (but not up the tower) for the first time this year.

Tax Season Must Be Over

Spotted on the side of the road while on tonight's walk...

It's Been a Long Winter

 What are these strange flower-like objects growing on the branches?

Approaching the Bridge

Here's a few photos of the bridge (of death), taken as Sam and I are approaching it on the return trip from one of our longer routes (just over five miles). 

Not that you haven't seen this view a million times before but I took these photos because I really like the shadows (which we've also seen a million times before)...

 

Looking Up

Like much of the (non-incarcerated) country, Sam and I watched the eclipse the other day. 

I wonder if years from now, the next time there's an eclipse, will Sam look back and remember? Will he feel a connection? 

***

I don't have any decent photos of the eclipse itself. It was a little hazy and I didn't feel like burning out my camera or my retinas. I did take a few of Sam (naturally) and a couple more of the cool, crescent-like shadows cast through the branches as the eclipse waned.

Jeez. Some parents will complain about any minor indecent...

On a Roll

 Another bloom! I think this make four in the last year and a half!
