3/19 spark
The sun appeareth a spark in this majestical roof, fretted with golden fire…
It doth spark a remembrance of loops ridden in final freezing saddles nights past.
Fare the well, freezing saddlers! Thou dost spark joy!
3/18 Art magnet station, make art, take art! Maple Ave., Takoma Park, in between the City Hall and Sligo Creek
3/18 timer
I took a photo of the timer clock at the gym post-workout, but I prefer nature’s timers: daffodils tell me freezing saddles is about to end
Phenology is the study of nature’s timers. Scientists are studying how climate change is altering seasonal timing. In some ecosystems they’re finding phenological mismatch, for instance between organisms that are cued by temperature and those cued by day length, so things happen like baby birds hatching before their food source.
3/17 lasso
In marathon training we were taught that if you start to get tired in a race, find someone a fair bit ahead of you but still in good view. Loop your imaginary lasso around their waist so they can pull you forward until you catch up to them. Then select someone else farther ahead…
Against the north wind tonight on the MBT I pretended to loop one of these ebikes as it passed me for a psychological boost up the trail. But I should’ve held out for a real horse! Thank you whoever parked this lime bike in an aesthetic spot!
3/16 stamp
kidSnowy voted for this photo from today’s ride with bikes in reflection
because it reminded us of the frozen confection stamps in our stationery collection (https://about.usps.com/news/national-releases/2016/pr16_053.htm). We got cones from Salumeria in Brookland, an Italian deli with the best gelato deal in town–a waffle cone for $3! A different photo was of the ravioli design on the window that looked like a little stamp with perforated edges. And the third photo was of cherry blossoms that were featured in a bunch of DC-centric USPS stamps.
3.14 piece
This Timber Pizza oven drove by too fast for us to grab a piece, but not too fast that I couldn’t snag a quick photo when stopped at a red light
3/13 Chase
Chased a bunch of other morning commuters past the CHASE apartment building at Bryant Street southwards down the MBT and then got to see this police vehicle chase through the traffic on Florida Ave from above
3/12 mango
I did a long-way home ride from a meeting to get my miles and photographed several mango-colored things: crocuses, a playground sign, road markings, a scarf…
But kidSnowy came home from school, solved wordle, made us a mango lassi, and convinced me to scrap dinner plans to go on a mango ride. We biked to Laos in Town for green mango salad and mango and pandan sticky rice. I liked my crocus photo, but I’m a sucker for a theme ride.
3/11 track
My wordle guesses today were
GREAT TRAIN TRACK
so I felt I had no choice in the type of track I should photograph
3/11 Department of Justice sculpture
Does anyone know what this is depicting? Animals featured on the base look like a bull, a pair of dolphins, and a song bird. Clawed feet and an eagle head.
