Pics from around Columbia over the past week...

Despite Wednesday's forecast, these tundra swans, illuminated by the late afternoon sun, tell us spring is right around the corner and down the street.

 That pothole at the Columbia Plaza is getting worse. Is it the beginning of a sinkhole?

 Moon emerging from clouds.

 Moon atop a flagpole.

 When you absotively posilutely have to get rid of the evidence.

 Scarf bombing downtown.

 Flock of seagulls.

 Seagulls billowing from the roof of Columbia Crossing.

 Here's one minus a foot.

 Work bus on its way to or from work.

 Patched pothole in Avenue H.

 At the water's edge.

 Down but not out.

 Full throttle.

 Have a seat at 3rd & Perry.

 Your nemesis - and mine.

 Land Bank Authority sign.

 There it is at the infamous 208-210 Locust.

 Ventilated door; that is, NO WINDOW.

 Strong winds last week blew the siding off this house near the bottom of Locust Street.

 No. Just no.

 Strong winds toppled this tree along Ironville Pike.

 More signs of spring bustin' through.

 Evidence of scarf bombing on the 500 block of Locust.

 The library held its Topping Off ceremony on Saturday.

 Strong winds knocked over this sign along Route 441.

 Also along 441: abandoned tires.

 Speaking of tires, here's a few dozen along Bank Avenue.

 They're sitting behind a mobile home there.

 How many puns about tires are there?

How about "I'm tired of this."

Or, "Don't tread on me."

Still there:

Looks like feral cats and rats are having a feast next to the mobile home.

 Quick-change artists.

 Emergency personnel responded to a call for a water rescue but found only debris against a rock. 

 Watchers watched from the bridge.

 Is this street-legal?

 This is what you don't want to see coming at you. Fortunately, only the one on the left was. The one on the right was being towed.
