It's gross out AGAIN today, just like last Wednesday. I'd heard "partly sunny" for the forecast, and hoped to get some brighter looking pictures today, but apparently the "partly" was for about 5 minutes this morning, long before I had time to wander the yard with my camera.
And even though today's prompt from my Hive Blog Posting Month calendar is...
International Plant Appreciation Day
I thought a Wednesday Walk, appreciating the hopefully blooming plants outside, would work. Instead I have a handful of pictures from today that look at lot like last week... 🤦♀
I decided to include the ones from last week, after the newer ones, to show everyone (mostly me) that even though there doesn't seem to be much more Spring out there than their was before, there are still incredibly tiny signs that the better weather is on its way.
Before I get to the pictures always, a quick shout out to Wednesday Walk host, @tattoodjay - be sure to hop over and take a peek at his latest, Wednesday Walk at the end of the harbor Walk, which I'm gonna check out as soon as I hit "publish" on this!😂
As for these photos, as per my usual FYI - these were taken in the yard of my Durham, NH home with my Nikon, also using my tripod. All were resized, then cleaned up a bit with PicMonkey - mostly the exposure and sharpness, but with a few other tweaks like vignette filters for the corners here and there.
A Wednesday Walk Déjà Vu
1. Today's gloomy skies, but with greener grass.
1a. Last week's gloom
2. Last week, I said, "Just before winter set in, our landlady and her son filled in a bunch of sinkholes in the driveway and on the lawn (the joys of having large roots rotting underground for years after the tree stumps were removed). Strangely enough, some of the first of the new grass is growing fastest around the edge, making the lawn look a bit like a masked bandit!" It's not as clearly defined now, like it was...
2a. ...last week.
3. Not exactly the same shot, but a peek at the sprouting Black-eyed Susans.
3a. How they looked last week.
4. Hard to really tell, but they do seem bigger and greener...
4a. ...than seven days ago.
5. Again, not exactly the same framing for this shot, but a peek at the tree growing through the granite stones...
5a. ... and the sprouts seem more plentiful than this shot from last week.
6. Blossoms today...
6a. ...versus blossoms then.
7. I didn't take a version of this shot last week, but thought I'd include this to show that at least the grass is getting noticeably green again...
8. ... and I don't know if this counts towards "Plant Appreciation Day" but I know I appreciate that the sight of this dandelion (and the others sprinkled across the lawn) does make me feel that maybe my walk next Wednesday will have a bit more color in it.
9. Okay, literally two seconds before I was about to publish this, I noticed it got a bit brighter outside. I had to run and get a couple extra shots...
10. ...just to prove we do occasionally see blue sky here in New Hampshire. Here's to hoping I can have a more definitively Spring-like walk next week! 😂
Happy Wednesday Walking everyone!
