Springtime in Our Front Yard

A macro look at what's going on in our front yard at the moment. I can't wait for gardening season to really kick into high gear!

In the Pink

I had a portrait shoot on Friday afternoon and incorporated some eastern redbud into the background of some of the photos. They're in high bloom at the moment and look so pretty!

The iron fence that encloses Grace Episcopal Church on North Tejon features this lovely old gate. I wonder how old it is.

Sunday Style!

Spotted while shopping a few days ago. I've been avoiding Target ever since they caved to pressure on their DEI stance (losers!), so I was only there to get something that I couldn't find anywhere else. I did notice that the place was practically deserted, so I suppose the boycott is working. Anyway, this employee enhanced her uniform Target red look with this very interesting ruffled shell. I wouldn't say that it goes well with what she's wearing, especially the shoes, but kudos to her for livening things up a little and showing some individual flair.

Trivelli's Goodness

Grabbed a couple of sandwiches at Trivelli's for dinner on Monday: Philly cheesesteak for Pat, vegetarian for me. Yum! I snapped this photo while I waited for my order. Trivelli's is an Old North End/Roswell institution. It's been around since the mid-1970s. This is old school Colorado Springs, friends. It isn't a sit down restaurant; you order at the counter and take your food with you. Trivelli's moved around a bit over the last decade, trying out the sit down business model -- first a couple of doors north, then a few more blocks north, and then all the way east, just outside Peterson Air Force Base. A couple of years ago it returned to the little hole in the wall spot where it started, on North Nevada next door to Murphy's Tavern, and that's definitely all right with me!

To Peep or Not to Peep

That is the question! Where do you stand on Peeps? I know they're popular, but I'm not a fan. Then again I'm not a fan of most candy. How about you?

Another snowy shot, just as the weather started to really turn last Friday. By late Saturday afternoon, the sun was shining and most of the snow had melted away.
