Coming Spring 2010

Ducks in Alameda knew Spring was drawing near. They paraded on the inlets like they owned the water. Some expressed annoyance that humans would dare enter their space.

They tolerated me because I was on the bank, not crowding the deserted place near sunset. And I remained quiet and still. Enjoying some moments of solitude.

Shopping - Asian Market

One can always expect freshness and variety from this market we visit. Sometimes composition of found objects is easy. No, I didn't arrange these squashes. The color and volume just worked out.

Is Spring Around Our Corner?

On a brisk weather walk around our neighborhood, we spotted these flowers pushing upwards towards an unforgiving gray sky.

I think the flowers offered us hope that bright days are coming forth! I'm glad we're not on the East Coast.

Red, White & Blue

Here are some mailboxes near my neighborhood--simple but graphic patriotic colors. 

It makes for a wonderful stop along my walks through the friendly streets of Concord.
