Flip-Flops or Fuzzy Boots?

Vines on a bridge at UT Gardens

Make up your mind, Knoxville!

Let me re-cap the weather for you all:
Sunday - Partly sunny, high of 79
Monday - Rainy, high of 66
Today - Cloudy with snow showers, highs around 43

What is THAT? I go from sweating in a tee shirt and shorts to dodging gigantic snow flakes.
It's all so disorienting...

So, I did not do the pollen story like I had thought. Instead I decided to do a bit on the crazy weather and how it has affected UT Gardens and what they do to prepare for such winter advisories.

It's due by 3:25 pm today. And my expert source, Dr. Susan Hamilton, the Gardens Director, has not replied to my questions yet.

I have a few awesome pictures from when I visited the gardens on Sunday though.

Thought I'd share just a few.

I'll post my story when I get it completed.

This one is a bit blurry, but I still like the composition of it.

It's a beautiful day

It feels amazing outside. I have no idea the current temperature, but it was hot enough for me to regret wearing a black t-shirt, jeans, and a sweater.
But, before leaving my room (dressed like it was snowing) for class I decided I would grab my camera and take a few pictures if I could find anything worth shooting.
I ended up taking a few pictures of blooming flowers - my favorite aspect of Spring.
And I think I have an idea now for an assignment in my online journalism class.
The assignment is a weather-related. We can compose a story with multimedia involving the weather in some sort of fashion. And while taking pictures of flowers I thought why not do a story on ... *drumroll please* POLLEN! hahaha.
How very original right? It's just hard to come up with a story surrounding weather out of thin air (no pun intended). Or maybe I can do a "getting ready for summer" story. Include the school pool being cleaned, girls hittin the tanning beds like the sun is about to implode, ppl working on their beach bods...that'd be hilarious.
Anyway...it's due this upcoming Tuesday. Arg.
Anyway. Here's a few of the pictures I took this morning. They aren't fantastic or anything.
