It was an unusually dreary day, with rain and cold and the surprising need to keep the woodstove going. I walked a bit anyway, but I didn't carry my camera with me for fear of weather damage. However, a bit later in the afternoon, I had to run into Westerly on some errands, and the rain had let up a bit, so, out of the car window, I was able to capture a few of the day's natural history highlights. My favorites were the apple blossoms that decided to debut despite the unpleasant conditions. For that boost to the spirits, much thanks.
