Snowdrops signalling the coming Spring (although it has snowed since these opened) #bloomScrolling #flowerFriday

Fallen leaves take on a touch of elegance with a bit of frost.

[edit: already found an interested person, go Mastodon!] hey #bikeDC, anyone interested in buying a bike lane uprising reflective windbreaker for local pickup (at cost, but no $9 shipping) to save me returning one? i didn't know my mom pre-ordered one for me and i ended up with 2.

happy solar-versary to our little array ☀️

Happy Independent Bookstore Day! We visited 7... Capitol Hill Books, East City Bookshop, Little District Books, Solid State Books, Middle East Books and More, Lost City Books, & Fantom Comics. All great! And there are even more we didn't make it to today. Love that we have this in DC. Visit your local booksellers when you can, not just once a year! #independentBookstoreDay #booksNotBillionaires

I had forgotten the heft of a 750 page book! Some not-so-light reading inspired by multiple mentions by @pluralistic (support your local independent bookstore!)

While I appreciate DC working to clear ❄️ from some of the bike lanes, it leaves a bit to be desired. At least we rarely get snow that sticks around? #bikeDC #bikeTooter

A small Adiantum, or maidenhair fern, finds a foothold in a hole in a wall.

Stalks of late summer basil gone to seed rise against a cloudless blue sky. There is a weariness in their green fading to yellows and browns. A small, yellow and black finch perches delicately and feeds. #gardening #birdPhotography
