I took a photo of the tree in my front yard every time it bloomed for ~10 years.

Not a botanist here, but I'm fairly confident the species is that of a cherry blossom.

It was a seasonal signal when these popped, and spoke of the coming heat.

Pictures I've taken of city skylines across the United States.

At the time of this writing, I've visited 39 states.

Unlikely as it may be, perhaps I'll round all 50 before the end of 2026.
