Spring Teasers

As usual, it's spring teaser time here in mid-February, when the sun comes out for days on end and everyone breaks out of their winter cocoons to stretch like hungry flowers yearning for energy.

I took a trek to the Arboretum and Golden Gardens Park today and took over 300 photos, but now I'm burned out so the gallery for the Arboretum will go up later (see update below for the Kitesurfer gallery.)  For now, though, here's a teaser of a kite surfer who was getting some huge air down at Golden Gardens near sunset...

Golden Gardens Park, February 23, 2008 (click image to enlarge -- but be forewarned it's 1280px wide and 660kb!)

UPDATE, Feb 24 @ noon:  The first gallery (Kitesurfers at Golden Gardens) is now posted to Flickr.
