If I'm hoping, then I'm hoping for the frost
I am feeling non-stop terrible. I took a couple of pictures in the snow-fallen sunshine this afternoon.
Paperbark maple, peeling in snow.
The sky still too cold a blue for spring.
The dogwood's illusion of shadow.

spatch sent me a 1957 study of walking directions to Scollay Square. Researcher's notes can be unnecessarily period-typical, but the respondents themselves are wonderful. "You're a regular question-box, aren't you?" It turns out to be part of the basis for a seminal work of urban planning and perception. I like the first draft of the public image of Boston, including its conclusion that it is a deficit to the city not to be thought of as defined by the harbor as much as the river.

Thank you for the trees. I don't think I've ever seen a paperbark maple. It is something for sure.
You're welcome! I had them sort of mentally classified for years with birches on account of the bark, but no! Maples can molt decoratively, too.
