Winter gave way to spring. It was a turning point for me. I marked the Spring Solstice. I improvised a way to mark the eclipse in spite of not having the appropriate gear.
I decided to get out and take pictures of wildflowers as the weather warmed. I never expected the joys that I would find in my journey.
