After yesterday’s blustery rain, I enjoyed a sunny yet gusty midday walk on my Easter Monday day off.

A branch covered in white magnolia flowers with purple highlights and green leaves is set against a clear blue sky.Pink cherry blossoms bloom against a clear blue sky with a few white clouds.A yellow dandelion emerges from a crack between two large pavement stone slabs.Clouds partially obscure the sun in a blue sky above a row of solar panels.

I was worried about the courtyard sparrows because I hadn’t seen them in a long time, but they’re back, swooping in, flying from hedge branch to branch, and hopping around feeding on the birdseed fallen from an upstairs neighbor onto our terrace. The wood pigeons have been here every day, too.

The midday sun lit the magnolias just right today, a sight at a time I don’t often see
