A View of the Weekend

After we were spring-teased with blooming flowers and trees, we had a torrential rainstorm in Birmingham. I could not tell what was rain and what was water running violently behind my house. I love that sound.

The blooms on a few of these trees were able to hold on through the storm. Most of the trees along my street have turned brown or blooms were beaten to the ground.

There is a large neighborhood cat sound asleep in the shade about five feet from this beauty. 

I suppose that is called "coexisting".

I maneuvered a tricky move off a one-way street to see this window display.

Home again, just in time to see two deer grazing and activating the street lights. 

I find it amazing that they are so relaxed so close to a busy thoroughfare.

I always make a silent apology for moving into their home.
