It comes on like a whisper

Bon soir, mes amis. Voici! Le printemps est arrive!

Well, sort of. Today dawned cool and cloudy again, but it's the fits and starts of spring, not the dregs of winter. Or that is how I am choosing to view it.

I took the Nikon out for a little gambol yesterday when the sun was more outish than it was today, and look. I found flowers.

And their fallen petals.

And - well, construction sites and graffiti and old cans and spray painted lines on the sidewalk and cars parked with reflections in the windows and people eating Chinese food in the front seats and so on and so forth.

And some little dachshunds in little coats promenading on tiny legs. Cute, n'est-ce pas?

PS. Forgot to add this for Claudia: All shots taken with my Nikon D40 (the D is for darling), on auto exposure, flash turned off.
