Happy First Full Day of Spring!

Story:

Down the street, a few days ago, just shortly after our pre-St. Patty's snow storm, I noticed a spot about the size of a quarter peaking through the snow in someone's front yard. 'Twas a baseball. I walked by this morning, armed with camera and the ball was untouched, but a crater had formed around it in the relatively pure snow. I liked the image. The rest is history.

I also liked this image, though it was a lot nicer on Monday:

This is ice on mesh at a construction site on 32nd Street between 6th and 7th Avenues.
