End of the Seasonal Sightings:
'No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.'
As always, I like to mark seasonal transitions by posting the remaining shots left my folder from the outgoing season. It was actually a tame mild winter where I lived. We had lots of wind, and it got pretty cold, but I think our most significant snowfall was in December, giving us a white Christmas. Usually we're hit with blizzard after blizzard in January, but not this year. We had snow, and often, but just small amounts that didn't stick around very long.
That doesn't mean winter is over. We've had huge snow dumps as late as April. I remember several years, when people were starting to mow their lawn in May, with piles of snow still melting on the edges of their property. I don't expect that this year, but you never know. One of our biggest snowstorms occurred in the first week of April. The saving grace, it melted away quickly.
Although Winter and Autumn are my favorite seasonal sightings, I'm very much looking forward to spring arriving. The days are warmer now, but it's still cold at night. Although we didn't get much snow, there are still a few piles in the corners of my lawn, not so much white anymore, but more a light shade of brown. With the temperatures on the rise, it will be gone by the weekend, until of course that surprise spring snow inevitably arrives.
