Tracks in fresh wet snow

Rainy season

Of course after rainy season comes snowy season. The wet and cold weather does present photo ops but I am usually not so adventurous to explore for pictures unless there is some comfort involved. If I am on the way to work in my car, then I am reasonably comfortable, but there are not many unique photo taking options.

Sudden spring

I am always surprised by the sudden explosion of spring. Where there was apparent lifelessness, now transforms into green. The periwinkle, the crocuses, the daffodils, the forsythia... all spring forth.

And it seems to happen overnight.

It is a wonderful time of year.

Rain drops keep fallin' on my head

The rain continues with the expected swelling of creeks and rivers.

On the positive side, there is that sudden spring green livening up the lawns. Can the crocuses and daffodils be far behind?

A little wet weather to get spring going.
