In the absence of flowers

I took a walk but couldn't find much blooming yet. There were two bloodroots coming up, but they were a little battered by the storm.

I had Jasmine with me and she battered one of them even further. She became very interested in whatever I was looking at. I don't think she sees the point of stopping to look at flowers.

Here are a couple of musical pictures from earlier in the winter.



Treble clef - I took a picture of the locust bean when the light was harsh. I continued my walk, thinking I'd come back later and get a better shot. But by the time I returned, a squirrel had stolen it away.



Quarter notes - Sycamore seed balls.

Wow, love that pic of the sycamore seed balls! I've been looking around here for interesting things to photograph, it's just not happening. Come on spring!

I love your blog. I ran across it on the recently updated list. It made me miss my childhood home in rural northern Idaho. Life seems like such a mess in the city.

Thanks all. It drives me nuts that I wasn't able to get a better picture of the locust bean... because I'll probably never find another one shaped like that.

After typing the file name for that second picture I was reminded of a movie that a famous blogger was in.

After thinking about this for a while I realized that I had my musical terminology a little mixed up. Those should be quarter notes instead of whole notes. So I went back and edited the post, because I'm incredibly anal that way. I'm figuring that you can sense the shallowness of my musical background now...
