Meanders

Spring poked its head out earlier last week and then retreated.

Winter-Meanders

These tracings in the snow are evidence of that event.

Spring Reflection II

Last week was warm enough to cause some melting.

Cold and snowing today.

Just a Spring Temptation, I guess.

Spring Reflection

Spring appeared early last week with mild temperatures for a couple of days.  The water ran and snow melted.Spring Pond

Low parts of Lee Park became ponds.

We’re back into winter for the next week or so.  No water running.  Everything is frozen again.

Different Behaviour

I watched this little wood duck squire his mallard lady love for some time.  She seemed flattered by his attentions.

It was clear that she preferred his company even though mallard gentlemen were readily available.

Perhaps it was something in the water?  Or her vision was faulty.

“Green head – check; gray sides – check; brown chest – check; handsome too.  Yep he’ll do!”?

Green

The greens of spring can be most delicate and varied.

This is the time of the year when this broad spectrum of shades is visible.

Monastic Pond

There is a pond at the old monastary, now part of Nipissing University.

On a calm morning it is quite tranquil.  The greens of spring are just appearing.

Bravery +

The sun is causing more trees to be brave despite the cool temperatures of late.

Spring is Coming

Given the reluctance of spring to arrive, it is encouraging to see this:

Brave trees are putting out leaves.

This is the only time this year that the delicate greens of new leaves will be visible.  Soon enough they will turn the darker green of summer.

Spring Sunset

The sun sets daily whether the lake is frozen or not.

Sometimes we see it, sometimes we don’t.
