Again, this was much prettier in real life.

Sky through some trees

Everything was pretty swampy after so much snow melted.

Late afternoon in the Law Quad

In the law library

Another part of the sky through another tree

Meijer Botannical Gardens (in GR, where there remained substantially more snow)

Cactus bloom

A Chihuly glass sculpture

From closer

Palm leaves

More of the same tree

Another sculpture

The tropical plant that had been hanging on here, in the darkest corner of my room, finally died. (Not surprising considering it routinely gets into the lower 50's in my room on winter nights.)

That house now has a roof, which is basically the only improvement I see on what it looked like two months earlier.

Driving home from my first dentist appointment.

You can't tell from the picture, but that's a pretty steep hill in front of the car.

The road is still mostly visible.

My house

Bronte running crazily in the snow (shortly after this was taken, she somehow managed to run full speed into my leg, which then hurt for a couple days)

Coming home from my second dentist appointment of the week, the weather was pretty different.

If the windshield was less dirty, you'd be able to see more of what this picture is actually of.

The city of Hopkins can maybe take down its Christmas decorations...

More sun, snow, and farms

Now the hill is visible, along with a couple miles beyond it.

More snow and farms, but the sun is on the other side of the camera

Bronte thinking about the ball (but really she just laid like that until I physically put the ball in her mouth...

...at which point she laid motionlessly like this).

The setting sun, with a bunch of fucking trees in the way

Clouds at sunset, and also a big reflection of the camera in the car window

Fountain Street Church (where I grew up)

One of the stained-glass windows

Newly refurbished pipe organ

From outside again. The Grand Rapids Public Library is being redone on the other side of that street.
