Michigan in The Spring, Pt. 4

I'm stretching myself to enjoy it at this point: there are just certain weeks of the year that I am made to suffer due to my severe allergies. I was prescribed two inhalers last week because of my damned immune system.

I took this shot yesterday at Liz' old apartment. I didn't even really look at it; I just put the camera close to the ground at full zoom and max aperture and took a single photograph.



I'm not sure how many more of these I'll do; I guess I haven't looked at the changes that take place this time of year in such close detail before, so I don't know what is left that might be different from what I've already documented.



Today was sunny and in the 70s. Quite awesome weather, although you can tell the sun is not quite overhead yet. The light is just different, a little more diffused, than it is in the middle of the summer.



After Qdoba on Friday, Brian, Shane and I went for a walk in the marsh area behind the Alticor complex. I took some photos there before, and I wanted to go back to see how things had changed (since I had an inkling I might do another spring post). Much more colorful, indeed, and I didn't even have to crank up the saturation (like I did last time, unfortunately).



We saw some turtles on a log! I'm not sure what kind they are. The spreading ripples in the water are from the skittish one of the bunch, who didn't quite like the look of me.



This I took in the parking lot at Bagel Beanery. I mean, I strode through the deep, old woods, and happened upon Aphrodite's nymphs as they caressed the cold sapling branches. Embarrassed, the young shoots began to blush.
