Despite the cold I'm coming down with, I was able to get out for some pictures, and some of the cherry-blossom shots came out okay. I really wish I could place pictures inline in this blog — the lack of this ability may be the one straw that breaks the Yahoo back, and forces me to move my blog elsewhere. (Note: this post was originally written when my blog was on the now-defunct “Yahoo! 360” social platform.)

Some of today's pictures have made their way into my (now defunct) pretty picture gallery. A full-screen view of this pic or this pic is nice.
