Different day, different turtle.
-Someone- heard that brumation after National Orange Juice Day (May 4th) is gauche.
At BWF
A composed courtyard is overlooked by the longleaf pine as the big ol’ world spins like a top and wanders around the sun.
At the Fund, the crepe myrtle continues to grow out of its winter haircut.
Spring at BWF
A turtle was sighted. He was lookin’ handsome. I admired his turtleness and then moved on.
(Same turtle as earlier. The others may be sleeping in.)
