More beautiful Spring flowers… a little brightness on a dull & dreary gray day!

And a little shimmering moment in the aftermath…
with the obviously rotten tree & chopped branches piled up on the curb.

I did appreciate a momentary mossy moment…
somehow now on the top of my car on the smashed roof rack?!!!

I do try to find the small moments as best I can…

Spring is in the air… and we’re at the end of our “forsythia season” with most bushes petering-out. But I found a “protected” one this morning still in full bloom. So nice to see Nature’s colors again… other than the “gray & brown” of late Winter!

Quick afternoon “escape” from the studio as the clouds are still moving in.
Had to get outside to play for a bit… before returning later tonight to finish up a few things.

Finally some green… even if we can only enjoy it in between the rain clouds. I’ll take it…

Looks like someone has hunkered down amongst some of my “rusty metal” collection
on my front porch on this chilly Sunday morning!

So excited to see GREEN outside today! The weather is amazing today in the low sixties!!! The sun is out, the snow is gone, the ice has melted!!! And the moss is here!!! Sure… we live in Chicago and we’re bound to get snow again any day now!!! But until then… grab it while you can!!!

Imagine my surprise this morning when I opened my back door and there was a friendly face staring back at me!!! By the time I grabbed my phone, he had already ambled down three flights of stairs & was exiting to the alley. No food, no trash, no anything on my back porch… no reason except for him to stop by to say “Hello.” Ahhh… life in the City!

We’re supposed to get to “ten degrees above normal” today… and I’m already enjoying the clouded blue sky & the sun breaking though. Hopefully the brief warm-up will help melt that frozen fiasco in my back courtyard area. Pretty as those icicles are… I’m ready for them to go!
