3. The most joyous time of the year, IMHO.

I LOVE spring. More than I hate winter, which is a lot.

The map showing the area of the globe illuminated is really cool here:

I love how its straight up and down now. Over the next few weeks, what it morph into more of a hyperbola shape, as the Antarctic loses its daylight and the Arctic gains as we progress towards the Summer Solstice.

4. I love it when you talk dirty.

5. Today the sun rose due east and set due west.

You can see this if watch the sun rise or set on a street which marks a section boundary (or is parallel to one). Streets are like that in my neighborhood.

6. I hadn't quite processed the Winter Solstice yet. And my spring is full of snow, here.

Yet, life is good. Thanks for the beautiful images and thoughts.

7. It felt like Summer on the last day of Winter, LOL!
