Spring's Creep

Hello Houston, we have...bare patches! Last year's wintergreen and fallen leaves are looking beautiful as they emerge from the snow pack.


Spring has had some delays and setbacks this year - snowstorms, arctic wind, ice. The snowshoe hare still needs its snowshoes to get around. I needed snowshoes (which I did not have) as I stepped off the path and sunk into deep snow trying to photograph the hare tracks.



I can still follow the wanderings of raccoons in the snow.
























And the stream is still trying to shed layers of ice.
