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.

Thank you!
When I walk, I've mostly been taking pictures of signs in closed shop windows, some printed, some hand-lettered, with various messages to customers, including pleas for support, or signs on the crosswalks saying the walk signs will now come on automatically, so you no longer should press the buttons. Your pictures are more reassuring.
Yours sound valuable in their own way. Documentation is also important.
(I did not take a picture of the dumpster in the parking lot across the street from my office on whose side someone has painted "FUCK YOU!" in about foot-high industrial yellow letters, because it's really hostile and broadband about it.)
