I might drown into you

My life right now feels very bare and very scheduled at the same time—I am maintaining myself and others and that's about all I have time for—but I got out for another walk this afternoon. Naturally the sun came out as soon as I got home, but I think [personal profile] pameladean may be right that some things are more luminous by overcast.



The magnolia looks especially dragonish to me this year.



The weeping cherry is beginning to blow to the sidewalk, but its blossoms can still pour down out of the sky. You just have to look up.

This magnolia looks leafy sea dragonish.



My camera has a hard time with contrasts, but I like how it caught the window-sky.

Have some links.

1. I was reminded by conversation with [personal profile] larryhammer that I had never actually seen the official music video for TLC's "No Scrubs." Their futurism still looks great.

2. I first heard Morcheeba on a mix made for me nineteen years ago by [personal profile] selkie, so I am pleased to discover their latest single is so subaqueous: "Sounds of Blue."

3. Courtesy of [personal profile] moon_custafer: I too would have enjoyed a Ronald Colman Moriarty, but in all honesty I am reposting mostly for Sydney Carton winking. I was introduced to Colman with A Tale of Two Cities (1935) and may always think he looks his best minus the mustache and plus a slight hangover.

I did not expect the conviction of Derek Chauvin. I am glad of it. I hope it is a beginning and not a blip.

Welcome to my world. (I've been earworming that song for a week.)
