No fooling

Well it’s April 2nd so it can’t be a joke. The flakes keep flying as winter marches on.

Although it is a beautiful way to start the week if I do say so myself.

From behind the juniper

A nice group of Mule Deer peek out from behind the juniper on a wonderful bluebird day as the snow slowly melts away on the sagebrush covered hills. A welcoming sight on a wonderful early spring day.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Is it spring yet?

With the weather this last week going from shirt sleeves and short to gore-tex and boots in the course of a single day this Prairie dog asks the question is it spring yet?

Although I like the unpredictability of it all it sure was nice sitting on the patio with the afternoon sun warming my bones the other day.

Is it spring yet?

Slow and steady wins the race.

Have a wonderful and slow Saturday.

Spring color

A splash of spring colors. No flowers this early but the blue, blue skies and red and orange willows make it feel like winter is a thing of the past even with snow covering the ground and ice on the creek.

Happy spring to you all.

Or Autumn for you all down south of the equator.

Goodbye Goldeneyes

Seems like it is time again to bid the Goldeneyes farewell for the season. We all can sense spring is in the air and they have all abruptly left the local pond this week for their annual migration to the north. We may yet get a snow storm or two but the goldeneye migration is a natural calendar I can count on to tell me middle March is here.
