Grassy Knoll

Not that one, though this was taken outside the Hob Nob, which was frozen in time in 1963. From Saturday, 5/7/11, at dusk.

Stripey

The sun is trying to come out and stay out, but it does not always succeed. Nonetheless, the lake has some pretty stripes most of the time lately. From Thursday, 4/28/11.

A Lake of Purple

“Yet marked O where the bolt of Cupid fell.
It fell upon a little western flower,
Before milk-white, now purple with love's wound,
And maidens call it love-in-idleness.”
A Midsummer Night's Dream

These beautiful carpets of purple flowers are infesting lawns up and down the lakefront.
See the lake in the background? A bonus post to honor the Bard's birthday.

Looking Up?

Notice the contrails striping the sky? Notice that you can see the sky and it is not obscured by clouds? Maybe spring will return after all. From Thursday, 4/21/11.

Layers

Blue sky above blue-green stripe above brown-gray water above sandy beach above green grass. This was taken from a waterfront park, one where I don't think I've been for a photo before this one. Hmmm. From Sunday, 4/17/11.

Two Banks

The shoreline bank and the cloud bank. (If I ever had enough money to open a bank, I would definitely call it the Cloud Bank). I love the very light water contrasted with the dark blue sky. Taken from the park near my home. From Saturday, 4/16/11.

Crazy Beautiful

Every morning when I am walking to my building from the parking lot, I anticipate rounding the corner of another building for a clear view of the Lake. And it almost always takes my breath away. This morning was no exception.
Except I got two breath-taking views. All I had to do was pivot.

Still Here!

This is a little old, and a little weird, since it is taken from inside the office, but I love the fluffy clouds and the bit of grass you can see.
