Daffodils, crocusses, and assorted mysteries peeking up.
Lichens and spruce needles
Virginia Creeper on rotting stump
Does this bug your eyes? Yes, I know it's not a bug, but "does this fly your eyes" doesn't make any sense.
Look! It's a flower!
My camera hates yellow flowers, for the most part. Especially shiny ones.
More dead things on the pond.
I'm not sure why the deer hasn't eaten the tulips yet, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time.
I suppose we could call it a dead grass abstract?

Artfully (?) shot compost heap
A good way to freak yourself out in the bathrooms at my workplace.
Trees at dusk. Oh, and flash picking out snowflakes.
Shepherd's Purse in snow
I take at least one of this type of shot every winter. Pretty, I guess. Still doesn't make me like snow.
Isn't winter pretty? Yeah, whatever.
Raven River and snowflakes
DO 10. Pretty soon it'll be DO 11...

More lilacs
Two moleskines, sketching pens, and a watercolour half-pan kit

Messing with the angles
Wet rose leaves
Just some daisies
No, I don't know the why of this one either.
Beneath the dryer vent April 2nd
But next to the dryer vent is still this. Yep.
Proof that things are trying to melt.
Not quite ready for gardening yet.
It's a hand. Guess that was pretty obvious, though.
This is April 2, 2011. Seriously.
Ok, yeah. Things are melting.
Look! Strawberries! Or... snowberries? I'm confused.

Clarkia amidst the mess that is my balcony's planters.
Sunflower hiding amongst the balcony plants

Spring's still kind of hiding...
Yes, I'm this desperate to pretend it's spring.
Unboxed: weird assortment of value and junk, really.
Wish I could say that this is the end of winter.
This is what happens when I'm hurting for subject matter.

Good ol' 80s lobe-pincher. No piercing required...
Dead grape leaves kind of fascinate me, which is kind of weird.

Purple crocusses. To be, I guess.
Hellooo spring...
My last snowy footprints of the season. Knock wood.
If you look very closely, you'll see a complaining cat who's not outside.

Last surviving apple leaf
So-far unchewed tulip. It'll happen, though.
