Winter is breaking up with me again. She says she needs a rest from our relationship. She does this every year and breaks my heart. I should just move far away to someplace where she never shows up.....but I can't because I'm crazy about her. She'll be back...... I'll just wait. Sighhhhh
After an all day rain I was hoping for a bit of fog to add interest for this harbor scene. Unfortunately, as night fell, the fog dissipated and along with it, so did my imagined composition. Not wanting to leave with an empty memory card, I did grab a few shots of the ice breakup before it got too dark.
A year after we received Sara in our house, today she was adopted and left us. We will miss her a lot, but I hope she will be happy with her new family
Every year the bean geese from Siberia come to us in the lower Rhine region of Germany for overwintering here.
Jedes Jahr kommen die Saatgänse aus Sibirien zu uns an den Niederrhein zum Überwintern.
There is a steady drip-drip-drip falling from our cabin roof, as the sun melts the snow that remains above us. The temperature's actually reach into the low forties as a daytime high and drop down into the twenties at night. The rivers are breaking up, and the inevitable potholes that dot our roadways have appeared, keeping drivers on their toes.
Doc and I sat on our porch this morning and watched as the mature camp robbers (gray jays) grabbed mouthfuls of suet and fed their little ones. A playful ermine darted about, taking a rest every now and then - on top of our truck tires - while round about him two squirrels were feeling amorous and were running up and down the tree trunks of the large willow trees just outside of our cabin.
I am sure the bears are waking up now, and introducing their newborns to the magical world outside of their dark and musky winter dens. We will now be on the lookout for new tracks left behind in the snow to determine who our latest visitors are. Alaska is finally awakening after months of cold and darkness, and we Alaskans are rejuvenated by it and ready to take on summer and all it has to offer.
A number of weeks ago when I was in Banff, Lake Minnewanka was showing signs that spring was on it's way
Showing unmistakable and considerable signs of spring thaw, the Robertson River, flowing north out of the Alaska Range is always by it's glacial nature slow to break up.
Here it is showing first signs of spring, with glacial water upwelling to the surface, making the very dense and airless glacial ice underneath glow with turquoise color, which is typical of glaciers.
This is a closer view of the ice I showed in yesterday's post. I am amazed at how variable the patterns and textures can be in slabs of ice right next to each other.
Thompson River
Kamloops, B.C.
I hadn't been right down to the shore at this part of the river in quite a while. I didn't realize how much ice was still on it. It's been warm, 10 C or higher, but it's going to take a while for all this ice to go. In the meantime, it's fun to watch little mini-icebergs floating along in the current.
my favorite mules and horses moved to alabama. at least, i think that's what the sweet lady told me a few months before they left. the hardest breakup was losing the semi-vicious dogs barking at me from the porch. those were the days when i used to run.
Not all of the discussion that happen on the boardwalk are good ones. This one didn't end well and the first thing that came to mind was they were planning on having a great cruise together, and then the big break up came.
A year after the Conrail breakup, white patches on the cabs of a pair of B23-7's signify this westbound local at Beaver, PA is of Norfolk Southern parentage, despite the 95% intact paint scheme. My most unfavorite time in the Ohio River valley. The train is crossing the Beaver River, opposite Rochester and Conway Yard, and about to pass under the CSX (former P&LE) mainline.
This year, spring is coming early to Newfoundland. You are looking at the ice break-up on New World Island. Harp seals were sunning themselves on the ice this Easter weekend but I couldn't get a photo because they were too far away. In a couple of weeks, the seals should be closer to shore on the pack ice..
About 75 square miles of ice broke up during an overnight windstorm and piled up in several places along the east shore of Bear Lake. This huge ice jam is on the Idaho side of the border and we have heard there are similar ice jams in Utah. Maybe I will find time to go there and see for myself.
