Dean gets so excited when Grant comes in to see him in the morning. He waves his little arms and legs around, smiles and reaches for Grant. I have to think they won’t get along this well forever, but it’s nice for now.

I made it out just before the rain started to get some foggy photos downtown. I took this with a long lens through the wires of the Douglass-Anthony Bridge, you can see the statue of Mercury atop the Aqueduct Building and the First Federal Plaza building shrouded in fog behind.

I’d like to start a project depicting different Rochester streets. That’s what I had in mind when I wandered around the neighborhood near Monroe High School and took this photo.

When it stopped raining yesterday I got out and tried to capture the colors that have arrived after a few mild days.

It’s still freezing, but at least the sun is out. Maybe this photo will make you feel warm on a chilly spring day.

I took this photo in Ellison Park, just liked the interesting shapes of the buds on the tree branch and their outline in front of the moon.
