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
You have to go where the flow takes you. I'll miss your character.
Whamageddon: Last Christmas, before the lady leaves
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.
The exact time and date of breakup of the ice on the Yukon River has been recorded and bet on annually since 1896. A tripod is set up on the ice at Dawson upstream from Whitehorse, and connected by cable to a clock on the shore. When the ice starts moving, it takes the tripod with it and stops the clock, recording the official break up time. This year it was April 23 at 11:15 am, the earliest break-up on record. In Whitehorse the river was already starting to breakup in March.
The signs of the winter breakup are now long gone. Our temperature is double digit and we are enjoying the sun. Spring has sprung and we are once again out of the hibernation stage.
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

The Monument to the Kalnik Partisans is a socialist-era war memorial located in Ludbreški Ivanec, Croatia, near the Kalnik mountain range, which was a centre of Partisan resistance. It commemorates the Partisans who fought in the Kalnik region during World War II against Axis forces and their collaborators
It is one of many spomeniks, or socialist-era monuments, erected throughout the former Yugoslavia to honour fallen partisans and victims of fascism. Like many monuments of its kind, the Kalnik Partisans monument has been subjected to neglect or vandalism since the breakup of Yugoslavia.
During the socialist era of Yugoslavia, thousands of these anti-fascist memorials were built to commemorate battles and victims of WWII. They were often financed by local municipalities and organizations of former Partisan fighters. Today, these striking monuments are often viewed as relics of a bygone era, with many falling into disrepair
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.
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.

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.
I love seeing the creeks and streams opening to reveal the beautiful glacial colors of the water that have been hidden beneath the snow all winter. It is still hovering around the freezing mark each morning - but the streams are now flowing, and I am ready to go out and hit the trails.
...in Denali.
On my way back from dinner, I saw these 3 moose sitting on the river - probably missed the crossover before the river ice breakup.
Soon we'll see the ice jam, and this view made my night after long days at work.
