Gratuitous Picture Post
Warning, gratuitous picture post here. I just uploaded three sets to Flickr. Only one contains cat pics. :p
First, L Kiddie took a ridiculous nap. More in the set
I walked the creek trail on a very cloudy afternoon. This set is pretty small but contains evidence of the arrival of spring.
The next day I went back to the small lake (the one that surely serves as an alien landing pad in winter, when it’s frozen). The birds were posing for me! And the sky was full of a perfect pale pink.The set is here.
See, what I mean about the perfect pale pink?

Piano Stuff
I’ve memorized the whole Beethoven Sonata movement. Now I’m trying to work it up to speed. Keeping my arms and hands relaxed is key, I suspect, so I’m focusing on that. I also started work on the Chopin Ballade. I couldn’t resist! It’s so beautiful! I’ll definitely finish work on the Etude first, though. And I’ll learn something by a different composer next time.
