Here Comes the Sun

The bare branches were coated in sparkling frost this morning, but thanks to bright sunshine and a clear blue sky, all that had melted by the afternoon when the temperature nearly hit 50 degrees! Hope does indeed 'spring' eternal.

Of course, we still have a half-foot of snow covering the ground, but 'this too shall pass.'

Deer Tracking

Another snowy afternoon at Balmer Park. The only visitors to the playground these days are the deer! (Notice all the tracks in the foreground going back and forth.)

Winter Afternoon

The sun is positioned low in the southwest sky as it begins its decent over Balmer Park during a wintery January afternoon.
