Only Because I Can…
…and probably for only a little while, I am making good on this threat.

Bradford Pear Trees
Well, I’ve gone and done it again. Last year after taking this photo I told myself I would get a nicer picture this year. Trouble is that after the blooms disappear I can’t tell a Bradford pear tree from any other tree, so figuring out a photo spot way in advance can’t be done. This year when the trees started blooming I kept my eye out as I drove for a row of them with a nice enough background. Never saw one I really liked, so I never did take a new picture. The Bradfords are all starting to go green now and wouldn’t you know it, I think I stumbled on a place that fits the bill. Note to self: for blooming Bradford pear trees picture, try entrance road to Aiken Regional Medical Center.

Always Hoped That I’d Be An Apostle
Knew that I would make it if I tried.
Then when we retire, we can write the Gospels,
So they’ll still talk about us when we’ve died.
Yesterday evening Donna wanted a nap, so I queued up the DVD of Jesus Christ Superstar and kept the sound down low. I really like this movie. I’m not sure if it just that I’m a child of the early 70’s and that is the style of music of my youth or is it because I saw a Broadway production of the play on a high school field trip and had great time in NYC, in spite of being left behind. Or maybe it is because we get the whole Jesus fable neatly wrapped up in an hour and 45 minutes.
Today on TCM I stumbled on the last 40 minutes of King of Kings and stayed. It was pretty fun to compare this 1961 “serious” take to the more irreverent JCSS telling of the same story.
Everything’s Alright, Yes.
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh.

Mr. Fletcher’s Ride – March
Looking southwest at the corner of Mr. Fletcher’s Ride and an unnamed path about 1/2 mile in from our usual entry point into Hitchcock Woods. Outside the woods, spring is in it’s early stages, but inside it is just starting. The dogwood outside my window at home is is in full bloom, while the one that the passed on this morning’s walk was just starting to flower. I picked this corner in the fall when it was colorful, but there isn’t any thing that will flower heralding spring, so I need to find a different spot that will be more colorful at this time of year for my next yearlong photo essay.
Friday’s Week In Review Post
This post was to be brought to you by the letter Q, but fearing legal action from Nissan, it will instead be brought to you by…oh heck, I can’t think of a letter that hasn’t been used as a car line designation. Can You?
1) The picture book of our DC trip I ordered last Friday from MyPublisher arrived today. Never going to buy a photo album again.
2) I must sure love the way I look because I was busy peppering this place with my photo in various forms, favicon, ASCII art and gravatar.
3) Must love that car too, as there are 3 new photos of it in here this week.
4) Posted my first picture in a new weekly photo meme, Lens Day Wednesday. One of the photo blogs I visited actually had a listing of photo memes for every day of the week. Yikes. Think I’ll stick to 3 for now.

Blogging Brians
If something is worth doing, it is worth doing to excess.
A person named Brian commented on one of my pictures in a photo meme. I wrote back thanking him for the comment and it was nice to get to know a fellow blogger named Brian. It reminded me of the webring I was in on way back in 2003 called Blogging Brian’s. The person who formed the ring has fallen off the face of the Internet, so that little scheme can’t be resurected. Instead I went back and grabbed all the still working links and made a little section for them on the right side of the page. Hey I have a list of blogs over there that are written by Miata owners….
Then I went a step too far. I Googled Brian Blog and then Blog Brian. Came up with 11 more active blogs written by Brians, including six with the startlingly original name of Brian’s Blog.
I am reserving the right to winnow out a few of these, Sturgeon’s Law definitely applies to blogs written by Brians too.
