Hanging out, cloudy sky and reappearance

This lovely little tulip was hanging out all by itself at the park on Saturday morning, just waiting to pose for the camera.  It was a lovely respite, this walk, after a week of battling traffic during, what we're calling, The New Normal, in Atlanta, after the I-85 bridge collapse.

And back home at the condos - a glorious Saturday morning sky.  I was walking over to look at the dogwood tree, there on the right, but love the look of that cloud formation and a couple of puffs of cloud that had escaped, there at the top.

And the pink Dogwood tree in the condo driveway blooms again.  Someone did a wonderful job landscaping this complex when it was built 30 or so years ago.  It's lovely to see old friends like those pink blossoms reappear year after year.

Hope you have a good week, my friends!

I love the beauty you find and share.
I hope your week is wonderful, and that your new normal bearable.

The dogwoods have been magnificent this year! Hope the new normal will be over by June 15th! (That is the date they hope to have the bridge fixed!)

Nice tulip to bloom in your path! That new commute sounds like it's wearing you all out! I always wonder about those rippled cloud formations. There were some here on Monday. We have a ways to go for those outdoor tulips n dogwoods here, probably another month. Glad you got to enjoy them on your way!

Nice cloud and I know the bridge being out has to be tough on everyone working in Atlanta

You deserve a walk in the park and chances to view beauty to take your mind off the hustle and bustle of your work week. Know your commute must be a bear now.

Hello, I can not imagine the traffic in Atlantic since the road collapsed. I am glad I am not there, traffic and impatient people can be a bad mixture. The blooming trees are pretty. Happy Thursday, enjoy your day and weekend! Happy Easter!

Did they figure out what the heck happened in the collapse?

Love the cloud formation.

We have a few tulips dotted around the garden and they do add a lovely touch of colour at this time of the year.
