I have a feeling that 2011 will be one big, flopping, clumsy leap.

This is a bonus photo, just 'cause I thought this statuary was really excellent. This is the detail on a cannon at Fort Ticonderoga, NY.

A bonus for you - excellent signage at the Rockin Hair Boutique! I am a new customer here, but a very satisfied one, and definitely a convert. The owner-stylist, Jayna, is great. Visit it in South Charleston, WV for a great haircut/color!

Day 68 of 365. I don't have a more interesting title today than that.
I poked around the Capitol area in the early evening gloom tonight; the first flowering saucer magnolias are out in the East End. It rained most of the day so it was a good day to add to my puddle series , especially when the clouds pulled away from the sun and gorgeous evening light streamed down.

This is what I've got. The magnolia trees have these buds. It didn't feel quite as cold today, maybe, and the birds were about their business, including the robins. They were dumpster diving by the river. Dare I to hope that's the scent of spring in the air? (It smelled a little like burnt toast).

As seen on the Carriage Trail today. This solves my question about whether the smiley faces seen on this bench in January were deliberate.

This describes my thoughts pretty well the past two days. I think I'm unravelling them, though.

Day 28 of 365.
Earlier, I showed the close up of the icicles. I haven't satisfactorily captured the way the icicles hang down from the rock. This is the best I could do so far. Dr. Nick has dubbed this small patch the "icicle fairyland".

I like this fluffy snow and chilly weather a lot better than the slushy nasty whatnot of the previous days. Fluffy, sparkly snow? I can handle that.

A bonus photo - I chose the icicles for today's official photo because it's appropriate - the weather's nasty, there's another winter storm advisory, and its slushy, slush everywhere slush. Today I found something I wrote on February 11th of last year, when it was 68 degrees. Jebus. It seems like this winter will never end - I know that's not true, but that's the feeling of today.
So, this photo: not butterfly wings, but it reminded me of them. And even though today was nasty, it had its gifts: a really good yoga class, and a happy invitation that made me verklempt. My sister-in-law is getting married in October, and she emailed to ask if I would be willing to be a bridesmaid, since her sister is the maid-of-honor and she thought it would be cool if "her other sister was up there too". This means more to me than I can even say - Dr. Nick's family is straight up awesome, and while sometimes I've felt like the orphan with her nose pressed up against the glass looking in, today I'm inside and warm and cozy.

I'm just waiting for these to start melting.
