On the path.

I spent some time working on making these flowers seem as though they go on forever, or at least for a whole field.

Glee.

I made a short roadtrip. At the end of it was this face, and two other beloved ones, with all of whom I did not get to spend nearly enough time. (And just so you know where her glee is coming from: she's up in the air because her father is holding her--they have just finished stealing each other's noses--and she's looking to her mother, and I am looking on through my lens.)

Regenerative.

I've been spending a lot of time with this tree lately. I think that it must have lost its upper half some time ago; the scar doesn't look fresh, and after I'd contemplated it for a little while back in February, I noticed that it had re-rooted itself in itself, about ten feet up in the air. When we had our last snow that covered the ground (as opposed to last night's merest dusting), these buds and this tree were crazed and covered.

Today, the buds are open, even if only a little.

Just you wait and see.

Outburst.

Today my excellent brother is 32! No other sister has ever been so lucky.

As promised.

Here's at least some of what I saw in January and February.

And yes, I have been flying Southwest a lot lately.
