Spending the day in hospital waiting rooms while a loved one has surgery. Not serious — a cranky knee with a few torn bits that needs some repair. Wish us luck!

On our evening walk through the University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum, we didn’t see much in the way of green, but the skies were quite blue, and the pond provided a lovely reflection of early springtime.

Two Windows and a Bit of Sky

And the Reflection of Earth and Sky

See the Differences in the Windows' Reflections

One window shows the reflection of the blue sky, the other window shows the reflection of the dirt path.

Peeking at a Red Tulip

Early Spring Bulbs are Blooming

I was intrigued how the tulips, just beginning to open their buds yesterday, rather hunkered down against a rather sharp wind and sudden drop in temperatures today. I like the dreamy nature of this photograph, and how the bits of the interior of the red tulip are quite hidden from view.

Narcissus

Ahhh...Spring Flowers

More rainstorms today, but April showers bring April flowers, too. These narcissus are from my garden.
