Winter is letting go very quickly. Signs of Spring are everywhere. I put away all my ski stuff and got out a hummingbird feeder. Even the light is different. Where it is no longer reflecting off of snow it has a warmer quality. The ice on Patterson Lake has retreated from the shore leaving behind leaves and other remnants of last year.
Bubbles frozen in ice at the edge
Melted snow reveals a crayfish shell
Tree pollen swirls with meltwater and last year’s leaves
This one remains firmly in the ice. But not for long.
