….thanks to Jez for hosting I’m a fan of…..https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2022/03/14/weekend-sky-59-fan-of-147/

Yesterday much of the snow was off the ground and the geese and ducks wandered onto the grass and started eating the turf.

A Winter Wonderland In March

….after yesterdays gently falling snow

The snow had completely melted from everyone’s properties, the roads and sidewalks were clear and then this happened. For most of the day the temperatures were hovering just above freezing and even though it had been snowing for hours most of it melted when it hit the ground. Later in the day the temperature dropped to just below freezing and the snow started to stick to everything. There was no wind. Driving home from a shopping trip I felt like I had been transported into a magical winter village. Before going into the house I took a stroll up the street and took a few photos.

Macro Monday – Diving into the Evergreens

On one of my walks this weekend I discovered that there were some interesting macro shots amidst the branches of the evergreens that I passed. I walked over patches of ice and mud to get a closer look. Here’s what I found.

Whatsoever is Lovely – Week 9

The temperatures are rising, the snow is melting and the sun is shining. Sure signs that spring is around the corner. I know that there is still a chance of more snow to come, especially since March came in like a lamb.
