Four small yellow flowers seen up close, and arranged in a straight line so the distant fourth all but disappears into the grass. Three dandelions seen from up close, arranged in a straight line so the distant third recedes into the grass. The dandelions have been pollenated, and popped halfway open for the cottony seed pods waiting within. A single dandelion, seen very close up. Its cottony seed pods have opened all the way, the fluffy white globe poking its head out behind ragged clover leaves. A dandelion after having flung off all of its fluffy seeds, leaving a nubbly white stump at the end of the tall green stalk. A damp cottony mass lies on the ground behind it, from the dozens of other floating-seed dispersers that apparently didn't get very far.

A colorful spring day.

A stop sign, seen from the back, emerging from bright green shrubery, with a half-obscured tree and grass adding shadow and texture to the background. The sign post was painted teal once long ago, but is faded now, and mottled with warmer tones of the rust showing through. The octagon of the actual stop *sign*, from this sign, is a stark flat gray in comparison to the rest of the scene. A view of telephone poles and wires crisscrossing over a partly cloudy blue sky. Excess cabling on one line is bundled up in a ring, which from our perspective, draws a scribbly circle around the insectoid shape of the crossbars on the telephone pole behind it. A pedestrian cross walk signal button, with "Kill Ur Ego" handwritten in angular silver letters beneath. View of the corner of a rusty chain link fence, in front of a grassy embankment that drops down to the red-bricked boarding platform for the North Bethesda Metro train station. Bright green shrubbery forces itself up against and all over the fencing, with dimmer trees in shadow in the background. Vivid green foliage contrasts with the angular reds of the fence and platform.

...This was an interesting experiment, as I actually wrote it in Esperanto first. If you parolas, feel free to correct me, mdr.

At the Tidal Basin this past weekend, the forecasted peak bloom for the cherry blossoms in DC.

A man poses for a photographer to his left. The photographer stands in a warm pink dress, holds her smartphone camera steady, sun hat pulled low over her face. The man holds his hands behind his back, lifts his face up so his nose almost touches the cherry blossoms, his face placid, his eyes closed. A man and woman stand together, looking up at the cherry blossoms. The man reaches up to pull a branch for a closer look. A young woman poses for an unseen photographer on her right, standing just out of frame. She looks up at the cherry blossoms, her expression tranquil, hand hand half raised at her side. The warm pink tones of her top nearly matches the pink blossoms over her head.
