If I were under you, I'd be underwater
Turns out most of the cherry blossoms are still in the preliminary stage, but I photographed them anyway. Fortunately there were some nice wrought iron shadows on the side of the Litchfield Block and some flowering trees elsewhere around the streets.

The cherry blossoms are thinking about it.

"Leap, Louie! Leap!"

This one, on the other hand, went off like a confetti bomb.

I have been trying to photograph the fire escapes on the side of the Litchfield Block since we moved here in 2016. I love their shadows and angles.

For example, the shadow ladder that looks more substantial than its iron original.

I've never before seen the door behind this metal shutter in the front of the Knights of Malta Hall. Out of shot, a sign declares it in ornate scrolls of gold on black to belong to the Boston Billiard Emporium.

I love how the ivy swarms the ghost sign on the garage side of the hall. It's so spidery before the leaves come in.

And the angle it cuts against the sky, of course.

It was just a very nice azalea.
thisbluespirit just did an icon tropes challenge for Sapphire & Steel (1979–82) that generated some very fine icons. My new one comes from an earlier batch. I'm not sure why it spoke to me suddenly, except perhaps that it was the colors of my afternoon. And a good reminder of shining in strange times.

It is spring and I am going to make sure my brain notices!
