Spring Weather is Hitting like a Seesaw---Up and Down.

 When the weather is in this phase, I tend to stay in doors. At the first break of sunshine and temps 50°F

and above, I get outside very fast. The weather was great today, but it's going downhill like a lead balloon. High wind warnings are out and the temps from the second cold front is doing to do the same to temps. Some of the Weather Service long range says that it could be like that through the end of the month. But, there is hope because after today, I am convinced that its going to get better as tree branches are beginning to bud out in a wide scope of plants and trees.

I've spent a lot of time walking of late. Since I got my app for footsteps, I've been kicking the heck out of weight loss again. Plus, getting out of the house and giving my lungs a good turn of fresh air. Today, I hit the nature trails in Richardson, walking the distance from Galatyn Park train station to City Lines train station, then reversing it back halfway and covering the distance from US75 and Renner to George Bush Turnpike Service Road to Plano Road and back to the trail head at Spring Valley Nature Trail.  

The  City Line Station of the Silver line next to the Light Rail Station in use, is really a two-fold project. The station construction is one part but the other part is the pilings and cross bars that will support the tracks above and over US 75 North. Today, I was able to get up close to the pilings as they make their way on a gradual turn after departing the City Line Station on it's way to DFW Terminal B as the third train into DFW from Ft. Worth through Dallas, Richardson, Plano and Garland. A total of 26 miles currently under construction.Plus the Light Rail from Plano and South Dallas to Terminal A using the Orange Line, Green Line, Blue line and Red Line.

On getting off the Red Line at City Line, I headed toward the nature trails but stopped and dropped my camera bag to unpack and get my first shot. It was just to good of a shot to pass up. A Young man sat on the top floor parapit of  a parking garage that connected two rows of apartments facing south and north. The man was facing east overlooking the construction of the Silverline, the Light rail stations and the massive CityLineDFW complex, that is a regional complex of several highrises for State Farm Insurance. That complex is lined with retail and other businesses. I remember when this entire area was a massive hay field. What a grown that just keeps growing.
