False Spring Thaw? - photos

The temperatures climbed into the mid-40's on Saturday which is almost like a day at the beach now that we are winter climatized. Snow is melting and ice is breaking up in the streams. Mud season is teasingly close.

The nearby snow is melting faster than that compacted under this old foot path.

Caught in a shaft of sunlight the top of this tree trunk is capped by a two inch thick hairdo of moss.

A beaver dam thaws
Rivulets of water venture forth
Slanted stem catching mist and splash
Lozenges of ice momentarily alive in the sun
