Before the trees turn bare branches into masses of green Along both banks of the river the trees are only a few weeks from swapping their blossoms and pollen for new leaves to turn sunlight into food to grow.

Mostly land forces, a few serving U.S. Navy, too There are something like 4000 burials from Civil War era and following, according to the website for veteran burial grounds and the State of Michigan. The long shadows of early light comprise only a fraction of the total property adjacent to today's GRHV, Grand Rapids Home for Veterans.

Looking north to the Grand River and city outskirts To the left of the frame is US-131 on its passage to northern Michigan.

Early leaves begin filling the bare branches of April Maybe 75 or 80 feet AGL (above ground level) this view along Monroe Avenue shows the vista that the Grand River (right edge of photo) follows as it flows toward the downtown skyline visible on the horizon. From there it another 35+ miles west and a little north to the shoreline of Lake Michigan where the river water meets the big water.

Greener cemetery care - prairie for now at Fair Plains To the north and east of downtown Grand Rapids is one of the municipal burial grounds. Beginning around 2020 or 2021 to cut down on the cost of mowing the open ground and to reduce the grounds crew #carbonfootprint native plant consultants guided the planting of Michigan prairie species to be mown just once a year, as shown after the recent cut.

Rapidly producing 2024 leaves across the park The bright color of new green on some of the early trees to photosynthesize can be seen in this view over the treetops, looking north from the staring area of the extensive boardwalk.

A lot of trees despite expanding urban surfaces & services There are more and more paved roads and parking areas, rooftops and other hard surface the rain and snowmelt must move past to find ground to soak into. And yet this view shows the many trees now busy growing a new cover of leaves to turn CO2 into oxygen and sunlight into energy. So many other parts of the world are short of trees for shade and the many other #environmentalservices that they provide.

Quiet start to Sunday morning on April 21 Bordered by a major city street along the east (right frame), the sound of busy modern people on their way contrasts to the quiet here at the place the mortal remains rest, their race already run.

Extreme brightness of morning sun just north of east Around the spring equinox on March 21 at 43 degrees north latitude the sunrise is around the east-west line of this city street, blinding the drivers facing the solar giant. But now on April 21 the sun's position in the morning is a few points of the compass more to the north of east, though still powerfully glaring on the smooth asphalt.

Makers of food and drink - sample day at the grocery store Today the parking lot was particularly full and the covered space usually chock-a-block with gardening supplies and all manner of flowering and vegetable garden seedlings is now filled with people with curious tastebuds. Even without a dedicated, external mic the audio here is loud and clear as the hub-bub and brief exchanges between the booths and the tasters fills the air.

Dubbed "I thought this beer was named Warren" (helles bock beer) The microbrewery's double-sided menu of drinks this month includes several with long phrases as the beer name. Most follow the one or two word custom of naming, though. The brief description of this malty drink gives ABV (alcohol by volume) of 6.6% and IBU (international bitterness units) of 25. For tipplers who navigate the page of adjectives and numerical data in search of genre or category, though, this one includes "helles bock" in parentheses. Whereas pilsner is light and fizz-filled, this one is heavier, sweeter, and darker in color. Fizz is a secondary consideration. The public house ("pub") in the British Isles is a public-private sort of institution: open to all, but privately owned or leased. The resulting mix of personalities and thirsty customers can offer a healthy variety of opinions and life-experiences. As such, it can be an incubator of civil society. Different to the caffeinated atmosphere of coffee houses, the boozy customers may nurse a mild sedated mood or dive deep into sleepiness. Nevertheless, it is a "destination" and a landmark on the social landscape. By comparison the bar, saloon, tavern, or other form of drinking hole in the USA tends to have less "ownership" in the minds of customers. However, some mingling of opinions and hatching of ideas does take place here, too. So both institutions - east and west Atlantic - sometimes foster the elements of civil society; third places that are neither home nor work.
