About 4:30 post meridian (pm) time, I needed to get out of the house, nausea be darned. I didn\u2019t have much in my gas tank, but I scooted to a grassy area near the art museum. I picked a new spot sort of kind of near our Rocky statue. I usually try to avoid being near cars like the plague. All kinds of insults and intentional litter can come out of driving cars. I remind myself it is not personal. Today our drivers were well behaved. One honked, opened the window and thanked me. I brought a single shopping bag and my work gloves. It was nice being outdoors and I continued working along the east side of the art museum. A woman asked if I knew the name of a gorgeous white blooming tree. I told her I did not, but I will look it up on my phone. It turns out it was a willow tree, probably a weeping willow. She seemed happy I stuck around and told her friend about the weeping willow when she caught up. It was nice that she felt so safe with me and thought I might be knowledgeable. One other woman clapped for me too and I thanked her and smiled under my mask. I got into the tree look ups on my phone. I found a Japanese Maple, Mexican Cypress in addition to the Weeping willow I found earlier. It was a short excursion, but mind over matter. I got some sun, scholarship and satisfaction outdoors today in less than 75 minutes. What more could I ask for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is where my scooter took me… there’s lots of big disposable meal takeout litter around.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tourists were having fun at our Rocky statue… Look… a trail of litter leads the way! \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I was loving the white weeping willow blossoms and the dark pink blooms even further in the background – I cleaned this zone – it was not too littered today<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

White weeping willows – say that 10 times fast – actually it’s pretty easy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Japanese Maples (if any of my observations with my iNaturalist app are wrong, please correct me)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Mexican Cypress tree – this is the tree I’m least confident about, though it really matches the description – I am more sure it really is a Cypress<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
3 bags full of that shopping bag on top and I ended here on the west side of the art museum, closer to home, at trash can zero. I was spent – I’ll figure out what kind of tree that is in the background is some other time \ud83d\ude42 Thanks for viewing. My wife encouraged me to write this post. I’m going to bed again right after. Be safe all!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
