These are the tiny flowers of the Norway maple, which are falling from the trees planted around Leon's "Ideas" sculpture. I came across them on my walk home yesterday. I don't remember ever noticing them before but we had a lot of high winds a few days ago and I imagine that dislodged them from the trees.
I will be out today helping to lead a group of middle schoolers on a street photography walk. I'm giving a little presentation about street photography and then we're going out on the town with our cameras. Should be fun! It's nice to get out of the library and do something different for a day. And we're supposed to have sunshine, which will be a plus.
I also encountered this hefty bulldog, lingering outside a shop. As you can see, it wasn't entirely happy to have me take its picture, at least not at first.
It then posed for a moment, but its single bark made that little kid in the background turn around! The dog wasn't tethered -- it was just standing there -- so I'm sure it wasn't dangerous but all the same I didn't try to touch it. Some dogs give a friendly vibe, but this one was more wary.
That's a very nice idea to take the students out for a photography walk.
