Only a week ago, ice hung along the edges of the water. No longer! Today looks almost like spring.
Here’s a closeup of the pond reflecting the sky.
There are seven photos in the Flickr set.
A panorama. The landscape is still brown.
Distant mountains.
A self portrait. Me walking along the path.
I’m waiting for the first green to appear and maybe a few wildflowers. Maybe within a month.
Margaret Atwood’s The Robber Bride was excellent. It’s full of feminist ideas plus, of course, brilliant storytelling. She’s my hero!! The villain is Zenia, a “man-eater,” who destroys women’s lives just because she can. Looks like Atwood has a new book coming out in 2009. *glee* Looks like sci-fi, similar to Oryx and Crake, which I loved.
So, who is my favorite? Saramago or Atwood? I dunno! *head explodes* I’m just glad I still have several books of theirs to read…
