Springtime!!

My springing back into the swing of exercise-things coincided remarkably well with spring-forward and spring itself. As a non-morning person, I am loving the light evenings (when I can appreciate the sun vs chilly winter mornings when I'd rather stay in bed) and as a devoted daffodil-ophile, I am loving the return of these transient perennials, as well as other spring flowers.

There were a lot of flowers out near my work on a midday run, which almost made the giant hill I slogged up worth it.
I had a great run the other night reprising the Right-Hand-Run rules. I ended up having to go up a big hill I wouldn't've otherwise, but that meant I got to fly back down it, and I saw a nice daffodil + mini combo on the way

And, of course, for spring time flowers, there are always the cherry blossoms. My favorite cherry blossom viewing is just before peak bloom, when they are still pink tinted, but I missed that this year and instead got to view the fluffy clouds of white, and some downed blossoms drifting across the road, which is much nicer than the winter white drifts of eddying snow.

Next up on my annual flower watch is the tulips near the Merchant Marine Memorial and the tulip library on the National Mall.
