Rain pelts pollen, petals

Rainfall yesterday and today has done a good job of knocking down last week's sky-high pollen counts. Unfortunately, it has also put an end to the spring blossoms we've enjoyed in recent weeks.

For some, like this driver this morning on Harford Road, it also offers an unexpected decoration for the old gray ride. The picture was taken by Kurt Kocher, spokesman for the city's Department of Public Works. Thanks, Kurt!
