Boo and spring flowers
During early spring in the NWT, the roads and pathways are often brightened up with patches of wild roses. After a long barren winter these are a welcome sight. In early spring I will harvest the rose petals for tea and to make a jelly. Then by late autumn the flowers transform into bright red rose hips that are harvested following the first frost for rose hip jam. Oh, and by the way, early spring here is early to mid June. This photo was taken under the midnight sun just before 12 midnight.
In the expression of visual language, our sentences are formed out of patterns and shapes. In this shot taken in Smuggler Cove, the trees are still somewhat barren of green while the watery surface has both pollen and leaves. Trees form lines and appear to probe a solid surface, while shapes delineate that same barrier.
It all speaks of Spring and the never ending story as the seasons once again change. What is visual, also speaks volumes to us while we take notice of the changing elements around us.
"Spring fever, spring is here at last.
Spring fever, my heart’s beating fast.
Get up, get out.
Spring is everywhere."
– Elvis Presley

A Spring flower in our garden this afternoon, met another shot of Winter. The old man isn't letting go easy this year!
Hurray for Spring!

"This is the first time in 124 years the first day of spring has occurred on March 19 nationwide. Most years, we drop that extra 0.24 and pretend that the year is simply 365 days long. But the Earth's location in its solar orbit doesn't change just because we rounded, so the time at which we experience the equinox gets about a quarter of a day (or about 6 hours) later each year. For example, the time of the equinox would move from around 3 a.m. to 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. over the course of three years.
Every fourth year, we add a leap day to the calendar — February 29 — which gets us almost back in sync with the Earth's orbit. The leap day turns back the clock on the time of the equinox, nearly resetting the approximately 6-hour annual leap forward from the previous three years.
So the leap day intended to get us back in sync with the Earth's solar orbit doesn't quite do it. And that discrepancy shows up in the time of the equinox, which gets about 45 minutes earlier every leap year.
All those little rounding errors add up over time. If we blithely added a leap day every four years forever, our whole calendar would eventually be totally out of whack with the actual orbit of the Earth.
To make the calendar more accurate, we don't add a leap day when the year is a multiple of 100 (e.g. 1700, 1800, 1900) unless that year is also a multiple of 400 (e.g. 2000). This was the big innovation of a 16th century astronomer working for Pope Gregory XIII who designed the Gregorian calendar we still use. Withholding some leap days helps keep us in sync." npr.org
Thanks for taking a look! Always appreciated.
Please stay safe and well.
HERRÖSKATAN NATURSKYDDSOMRÅDE
På området finns promenadvägar, rastplatser med bord och bänkar, fågeltorn samt intressanta ruiner efter befästningar från de två världskrigen. Floran och faunan är artrik. Möjlighet till bad både på uddens östra och västra sida.
Taking a little spring break from my city shots to post everything blooming right now...I just couldn't resist!! :))
Looks like spring is here to stay now and everyone is out and about again enjoying the beautiful sun, including the wolf pack at Tierpark Sababurg. :o)
Being the Spring equinox (well here in the Southern Hemisphere anyway) I thought some florally pastely whimsy might be appropriate. Hit 30C today, yay! Time to start swimming on the beaches instead of just photographing them.
Fun fact about the equinox. As you know it marks the tipping point from days being shorter than nights, to days becoming longer than nights. BUT .., days and nights are equal in length (each 12 h) for the southern hemisphere two or three days before the technical spring equinox and most of Australia sees about 12 h 8 min. of daylight on the spring equinox itself. This is because our atmosphere refracts sunlight so that we can see the Sun just before it's risen in line with the horizon and just after it's passed below the level of the horizon at sunset. Seeing the sun before it rises! Science amazes , and confuses me!
Happy equinox wherever you are in this fascinating world of ours :)
