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. Zeke is following a trail long gone cold...

This eroding ice dam reminded me of Jaws rising from the depths...

I didn't even notice the face until editing the picture in Photoshop. It's very similar to the NH "Old Man in the Mountain" profile.

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