Sunday in the park with Kathleen

So, apparently, it's spring.

Ha ha -- what I meant to say is, it's  SPRING!

Today was one of those sublime days that only come along a few times a year, sun, breeze, mild temperatures, flowers seeming to burst from the ground by the minute. And after three days of non-stop headache and extensive sleep, plus packing for yet another office move, it was a tonic.

And birds, of course.

Some pine warblers and a Carolina wren were irritatingly camera shy, but there were flocks of Chipping sparrows and the first hermit thrushes I've seen.

Of course, there are always a few wiseasses who have to harsh my mellow.
