Our seasons and weather are moderate all year round, so the signs of spring are very subtle. Birds singing and the longer days of sun light are a few of the indicators of spring. But the best way to know for sure it's spring around here is when you see the
Yard Sale signs. When you see more than a few signs, you know it's spring. What is means is there have been enough good weather days to allow the novices and the experts alike to spread all of the wares out on the lawn or the driveway and not have to worry about it being spoiled by the rain. This is a sign of spring, when you know you can put all of your stuff out on the lawn and people can stroll by from one yard to the next without the worry of wet weather ruining your day of selling or your day of strolling.
I was not able to get a shot of a yard sale or a yard sale sign, but I did get this shot of the windows between two storms. I was in a stormy city council meeting where the panel and the audience did a lot of thunderous talking and rained threats on each other. On the other side of this was high humidity, thunder and rain. In between the thunder outside and the thunder inside, I saw this and was impressed with the symmetry, geometry, lines, shapes and repetition. The sense of order between the chaotic storms was comforting. I felt a calm between two storms.
