[OT from cottage renovations]

somewhere along the way I have to admit it: I don't really care for tulips.  I don't know why that is, but they've always left me cold. 

so I don't really go out of my way to photograph them.  after all, they're just tulips, so what's the big deal? 

but today even I couldn't resist some of the ones that are currently blooming on the grounds of McCathran Hall.  with their ovoid shape and markings evocative of brush strokes they look for all the world like refugees from the Easter Egg hunt held there two weeks ago.

after the morning's rain stopped the sun came out and the afternoon turned warm and quite pleasant.  it was perfect weather for just about any outdoor activity, including ... unicycle lessons on Grove Road along Wade Park.
