Earlier this week, I took a walk at sunset through the park and took pictures every few minutes of the sky.  It seemed to change with every step I took.  I put the photos into this slide show. My walk was forty-five minutes long, but this quick montage is less than a minute of what I saw.  I hope you like it. Photo and video editing at www.OneTrueMedia.com

The Last Bit of Day The last bit of day slips away sliding off the horizon and into the night, pausing for a moment right at the edge, shimmering, hesitating, in satiny light and then letting go and plunging  into the black, giving up, without a fight. It's probably best to just take what comes, embrace it, and know you're blessed, for as sure as each day arrives and greets you with delight, you know it will slip away and leave you like the rest.

Last night the local weatherman predicted we would have a sunny day today with temperatures in the high seventies or low eighties.  When I heard that prediction, I thought that it sounded like it might be an April Fool's Day Joke, but the weather man wasn't fooling.  It was no joke.   We had an absolutely gorgeous day here today.  I was lucky enough to squeeze in two walks through the park, one in the morning and one this evening.  I might have spent even more time outside than that if I hadn't had to work at the library in the afternoon. I took a few pictures to share with you. The daffodils in my front flower bed now have buds on them, but they haven't yet opened up. I did find some at the park that were a little farther along than mine, though. I saw some hyacinths coming out too.  A bee was buzzing around one of them and decided to be in the picture. Most of the forsythia aren't out yet around town, but I did find a few early ones already out in bloom. ...
