Spring arrives, a drop at a time

031015

First of all: I realize that what I consider a “lot of snow” is a laughably small amount for people who live where it actually DOES snow.

Second: I don’t like to be cold.

So, this four-part series that kicks off today is out of the ordinary. It means that it snowed enough here to be noticeable. And that, when it did, I went outside and made some photos.

I am starting with the one that offers the most hope of spring. I may not be the only one who needs the reminder that the seasons will unfold as they are supposed to.

During our big snow storm on Sunday, I took a hike. Well, OK, it was more like a walk. A walk around my backyard, if you are going to press me on it, which I guess barely counts as a walk. It must have been more of a stroll. Anyway, I saw this dried leaf cupping snowflakes and the tiny ice-balls that fell for a while before the snow started.

For similar – only better – images, check out these shots from a fellow photo-blogger, Sarah Takes Pictures. Tell her I sent you!
