...to Pittsburgh, The City of Champions sign on the corner of 7th ave and Smithfield ave
2 more days left till G-20 summit
The sign reads:
"The area immediately in front of you is wetland. The base of the Symphony Lift was redesigned uphill of this sensitive ecosystem. Wetlands purify water and offer the greatest diversity of habitat.
Sub alpine wetlands are part of the summer range for Black bears and Coastal Mountain black tailed deer. Both species are abundant in this area.
In winter the deer will migrate to lower elevations while a number of bears remain in the area. Unlike the deer that attempt to get out of the snow the bear prefer large snow packs which provide excellent insulation for their dens located nearby in large old growth trees."
It happened suddenly. The weather hopped up 10 degrees, maybe as much as 15 degrees between one day and the next, and spring arrived.
The first week of March was cool- in the 40's and 50's (that's between 4 and 12 degrees C). By the second week we were hitting the mid 60's (17C) to low 70's (22C).
Spring is here. We'll ride the rollercoaster of temperatures between the mid 50's to mid 70's over the next month, before gradually evening out into our summer temps by the end of April, but in the meantime, we are going to enjoy the progress of spring.
I have already seen my first crocus- hidden down in the woods and discovered by the kids. In some parts of the neighbourhood, daffodils are blooming- while they remain stubby leaves in my beds right now. My Hyacinths are ready to put forth flowers, though they will never be the showy blooms we got that first year (apparently that is perfectly normal, though I do wonder why).
So on a warm, but overcast day, I sat outside and drew some signs of spring.
I do it every year now.
A year ago, the crocus and daffodils were out and our neighbour's Bradford Pear was in blossom I have the pictures to prove it.
2 years ago I have pictures of me doing the gardening :) I didn't have a scanner then, so I have to actually look at my journals :) According to those, we first got into the garden in mid February and by this time in March, the trees were all blossoming and the henbit was out. So you can tell we have had a longer winter this year!!
In my picture, you can see the wild speedwell (the cultivated is not yet blossoming), purple deadnettle (Lamium purpureum), daffodil leaves and Pennsylvania Bittercress (Cardamine pensylvanica).
Certain projects make me see things I would normally pass by. This week's Flickr Lounge theme is geometries and this sign at the start of my walk has squares, triangles, circles, and parallelograms to spare.

Signs on the building across the street from the Casa Natal del Libertador, Caracas, Venezuela; 13 April, 2007
There's another version with a guy on life support but my friend was only 'lucky' enough to get this grotty pic on her ciggie packet. Apparently these teeth belong to a construction worker.
If Scooby Do is from Ipswich, I guess that means Shaggy lives here to. But what about Freddie Jones, Daphne Blake, and Velma Dinkley? Are they all local people?
On a wall in Vinales. Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Disembarkation of the 'Granma'. This was a boat that brought Fidel Castro and his brother, Raul, Che Guevara and 79 other revoltionaries, from Mexico to south-eastern Cuba, 1956. There they were pursued by government troops and only a dozen made it to the Sierra Muestre mountains. This was the sanctuary from which these few launched their successful overthrow of the Batista regime.
The vessel can be seen in the Museum of the Revolution (former presidential palace) in Havana.
Thanks to Zone6Pass for this idea :) (after I had posted the first 2 signs, before I found the green one)
Glanced out my window and looked down upon the roof of the garage next door to notice this sign. Makes me wonder the is the story behind the sign.

"The Wiggle"
In San Francisco there's a network of signs with numbered bike routes. The Wiggle is a relatively flat route through the Lower Haight, connecting Market Street to Golden Gate Park, following a creek bed (now running underground, through culverts).
