The Super Moon

My husband and I walked over the Carlton Bridge at sunset to catch the Super Moon rising Saturday night. It was a big beautiful tangerine colored moon - what a spectacular way to herald the first day of spring! We still have lots of white stuff on the ground, but signs of spring are everywhere - robins, a red winged blackbird, a barred owl's mating call, melting snow, a purple crocus, and great chunks of ice heading down river...

Spring Has Sprung

A little surprise from my yard. I found these sweet things in bloom yesterday. We are getting an early spring this year - I hear the robins chirping noisily in the treetops as I sit writing this. Typically we are still covered in snow in late March. It's been so mild, more like late April! I will be working on another portrait out on my porch again today...
