February's End

In the morning, I went to my writing group which often meets near the Cambridge City Public Works. On Saturdays, they are open to the public to drop off household waste that can be recycled but is not picked up at the curbside. Metal, fluorescent bulbs, electronics, plastic film (like bags, bubble wrap, etc), packing peanuts, and more. I like going there when I am already in the area because I was already using the gas to get there.
On a walk I took later, I saw this tree that was bursting its leaf buds. The bright red color doesn't come through in this photo, but the tree was glazed in a sheen of red.
