I took this photo on Sunday, the second warm day of the season for us here in the Detroit area. Everyone was out, including yours truly. After such a long cold winter, it felt dreamlike to be able to shed coats and even sweaters. There are few pleasures as sweet as those first moments of feeling warm sun on your bare arms. And we've been lucky. The warm spell has continued. I know we can still get one more snow, but at least we now know spring has not forgotten us. She is here to stay.

An update about the "Photographic Essay" workshop with David Alan Harvey that I'd hoped to participate in this June. I got word today that I'd been accepted! Since it is an advanced workshop that required one to submit a preliminary portfolio of work, this acceptance makes me feel very good indeed. Now I can't wait until June 7th! Don't forget, I'll be in Charlottesville, Virginia for "Look3: Festival of the Photograph" (June 12-14) and would sure love it if other PBasers would join me there. I think it looks pretty awesome. Check it out at their web site.
