Winter recently (and briefly!) returned, testing our resilience by throwing a few centimeters of snow at us. It created this beautiful scene.

After a winter of nearly unrelieved white, the brown and tan of dormant grass is pleasing to the eye.

Remnant

One of the last piles of snow, a final testament to a tough winter, gradually recedes. I’m not sorry that winter is finally (yet reluctantly, it’s a very chilly day) loosening it’s white, iron, frigid grip on this part of the world.

Softened

The details of a late winter dawn are softened by fog and delicate colours. The moon rides high overhead.

Magic, again

Life is so full of magic, beauty. It’s good to stop, appreciate, give thanks for these seemingly small things.

Out for a stroll

Rounding a bend in the road I was greeted by the somewhat whimsical sight of these Canada geese out for a walk on the iced-over river.

Fog-wrapped dawn

Sometimes, fog forms as relatively warm air slowly moves over the late winter snowpack. The results can be magical.
