orchid, roses, and locust

this little unit has taken forever to finally blossom --- but it'll probably last forever too

in the meantime, it's high spring, as it were, made extra special by it not being all damn hot already --- and my dilated eye is gonna love the next few cloudy days coming up

fire station #15 down on tenth street is the home of the "night train," the siren of which sets guinness to howling every time --- and they have two rose bushes in their front yard (and purty much nothing else) that are really fine this year
