First Day of Spring!?

Oh what a wonderful day yesterday was, being the first day of spring it was filled with all the signs of just that. I spent the afternoon in the country enjoying the sunshine with its welcome warmth, the dampness of the melting snow, the wonderful sight of deer ever so gently grazing, the awe inspiring flight of an eagle over head, the sound and sight of a twosome of Canada geese making their way across the blue horizon, and along with this symphony of life came the accompaniment of familiar, very welcome spring smells floating on the gentle breeze. With my camera in hand I enjoyed capturing the beauty that surrounded me, blissfully thinking that these were all the signs and indications that spring had finally made her appearance. I was so easily lulled into the anticipation of the new green growth that would soon be bursting forth like the birthing of a new born baby. But once again it appears mother nature was out to fool me. With the taste of spring still carressing my senses, tonight she gently pulled the carpet out from under me. As I left the supermarket, stepping innocently out into the void of darkness I felt the soft brush of snow falling on my face! My heart dropped at the realisation of more snow! Oh well at least I have what I need to stay cozy and warm until the next hint of spring appears!
