365 in 365 in 2014: Images 090 through 096

Has anyone else noticed how ugly the months of March and April are?  I don't mean any offense in case anyone has birthdays or anniversaries in those months; but let's face it, there's not a lot of pleasantness to see. If you're lucky enough to be in an area where Spring actually springs, you're still witness to Winter's death throes - gray weather, bare trees, and the crystallized grime of melting snow. However, the Earth still turns and orbits the sun, so you know you're in the home stretch to Memorial Day, when just about everywhere in the northern hemisphere is blissfully warm and bright.  Except maybe Canada.

Now that I've set the tone, here are seven more pictures from earlier this year.
