saturday city spring clean

Today's project was to go out early, gobble some bagels, garb ourselves in free fluorescent green t-shirts, and gather garbage in the center of the 19th ward for an hour or two. It was fun. After this there was a barbecue, and I met the mayor. I told him of the co-op and asked him for a mansion. He told me to write him a letter describing exactly what sort of mansion we needed, and he'd get his staff right on it. Also, he's very tall.

Tulips in Highland Park

Tulips in Highland Park. May 7, 2006.

With Rochester's tulips in full bloon, I have to admit that the tulip craze is starting to seem at least plausible. The local hysteria has a lot more to do with lilacs, however.

Tulips might be one of those things like sunsets, things that no self-respecting photographer could ever photograph; nonetheless, I indulged. I think the macro shots are particularly neat.
