petal by petal

The flowering trees make the city feel as opulent as a palace. The cascade of petals like confetti at a grand parade. And the rich royal carpet they create as they fall lends its own ‘red carpet’ bearing to a simple Saturday evening stroll.

sidewalk impressions

I’m always charmed by imprints in the sidewalk. Throughout the neighborhood there are leaf prints, dog, cat, & squirrel tracks, and human footprints. It strikes me as accidental art – recording that one moment in time when a mark could be made and someone was there to make it.
