lblanchard | It's a photo-op day...

The weather is obliging by being perfectly clear and fairly warm. The cherries are mostly done, except for those double-flowered varieties that create pink pom-poms on the ends of their branches, but they're starting to drop petals, too. On the other hand, the redbuds are still fine and the crabapples are coming into their own.

As for photo ops, the city is offering us an embarrassment of riches. There's our big Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts street fair, closing four blocks of south Broad Street from 11-7. There's an Eco-Fest this morning, at Washington Avenue Green. And there's a pub crawl right in my neighborhood, on South Street west of Broad.

Let's see....I could bike down to Washington Avenue Green this morning, take a picture or two...bike home...have a bite to eat...catch the bus to the PIFA street fair....and then walk home via South Street. Sounds like a plan to me.

UPDATE: Never mind the bike ride down to Washington Avenue Green. I think several hours on my feet this afternoon will be plenty.
