Down the end of the pier, the green jacket of the jogger drew my eye...

The US Coast Guard Cutter Bristol Bay was headed down river at a good clip...

This pair of youths had wandered out onto the lake ice... and now were debating the best way to get back to shore. Note that I'm shooting at the full extent of a 400 mm lens... they were waaaaayyyyy out there ... and also note the blue slushy rotten ice field around them.

It had been a long, lean winter... now awake and *very* hungry, he found it difficult to wait for dusk before slithering out to hunt...

The ice is rotten... warm sunny days have rendered numerous soft spots and a surface layer of slush. Farther out, even the lake ice is breaking up.

A welcome sign of Spring... it's street hockey season! >>>"CAR!!"<<<

Today we "spring forward" on the clock....and Mother Nature has decided to cooperate and "spring Spring" as welll... the outside thermometer reads 12˚C/54˚F and the world is a mass of drippy thaw... Spring has sprung - a jug of sunny yellow tulips seemed appropriate.

As this winter drags on, we are finally approaching the "drippy days" which lead to spring. Time to bring some hopefully colours into the house...

"At last!", thought Monsieur Jean-Paul GardenGnome... "At last I can finally peek a wee bit above this infernal crust of snow and see the world again" "Soon... very soon I hope to be able to see my toes too !!"
