Day 403

While looking around for plants to photograph, I noticed this Japanese Maple had several inch worms living on it. The leaves had many holes in them, from their hungry residents.

Day 402

Some of the trees have been budding and blooming. Here are some of my favorite ones.

Pine

If you look closely, you can see pine pollen trapped in the thread trails from inchworms.

I'm not sure what this is, but it's in full bloom with several buds still growing.

Cherry

Dogwood

Day 401

This morning, we had a dense fog. I took Alex to her running club. While the club members ran around the track, I took advantage of the fog, and trees that surround the school.

Afterwards, I did some errands. The sun was a bright white circle in the sky. It's rare to be able to look straight at the sun without eye pain. I took zoomed photos of the sun, like I do with my moon photos, but I don't think they are very interesting. This one of the glow through the fog, was more interesting to me.

Day 400

This evening, while we were waiting for John to come outside, I noticed these amazing clouds behind the trees. They were bright white in person.

Day 399

This morning, on the way back from the bus stop, I saw this slug on our steps.

Day 398

Today, we went to Maymont with friends.

Day 397

Despite the snow the other day, we've had a mild Winter, which means the flowers bloomed early. We've also had more birds around, which is always nice.

Some type of rose, or the larger form of Camilla

Vinca vine

Robin

Daffodil

Day 396

Today, we woke to snow. We had large chunky snowflakes for about an hour. School closed. The snow was all melted by 10am. Silliness.

Day 395

Today, we had beautiful fluffy clouds.
