Observatory of the Quotidian
 
On Mother's Day we took a lovely walk with my grandmother along a channel.  My camera was out constantly - good thing, since I didn't have much time to photograph this family of geese.

Well, it's been 11 days since I last posted, and that's because life has been a whirlwind.  Among other things, I partitioned my hard drive and upgraded my Linux Ubuntu operating system manually, and this afternoon played Feste Romane by Ottorino Respighi and Les Preludes by Franz Lizst with my orchestra (I play violin).  Since I love Respighi, I thought I would take this opportunity to embed a YouTube video for my very first time.  : )  I encourage you to listen to the whole piece!

Right now, I'm sitting at my desk, watching the snow pile up and retagging photos.  (I lost my old photo manager when I upgraded my system and with it all my metadata.)  I try to make a point of posting recent photos here to keep myself accountable for taking them, but as I'm watching the snow hit one foot and looking at photos from summer 2009, I haven't the least inclination to post more pictures of snow.  I want to put up pictures of flowers.  Accordingly, it is flowers you get. : )

Asiatic lily
And, for good measure, one toad.

After all (think I, with a look out the window) spring really is coming!
