April in Pictures

This is what the sky did this evening after a fantastic clap of thunder and a vicious cloudburst. I love in-and-out rain. It is furious, it washes your car, it gets out while there is still light to dance in what's left of the clouds. Hooray spring!

So here are a couple of other pictures I took around town earlier in the month. They are pretty much reverse chronological.


on campus - sorry, no idea what kind of flowers these are...

a dogwood at the school

dogwoods near the school

a church near the school - my first couple of years teaching, back before I got good blinds on my windows, I would look at the steeple from my classroom, but let's face it: too much sun + too many windows generates too much heat to leave the blinds open for the sake of a pretty view!

I love these pictures. I really do need to visit Virginia and hang with the bestest coolest wonderfullest ever. Let's just plan on avoiding Glen Allen and the Jefferson hotel. That would be good.

You're so funny. You're all "I'm posting every day!" and now that I'm being good and coming to check every day you haven't posted since...

Sorry. Hectic week(s) with the end of the semester at the university coming. Will do better. :)
