Some of you jokingly said yesterday, "Maybe this will be your last snow". I chuckled. The next storm is forecasted for late Wednesday and then there's yet another storm in the long term forecast. Thank goodness that Spring snow is alright with us!
Like most spring snows, it melted down by about half yesterday even though the temperature barely broke freezing. There's no more lightweight powder for Shyla to frolic in this morning but I still have wonderful memories of yesterday.
The snow was bottomless in some places yesterday, leaving Shyla floundering.
Unfortunately for R, he cannot play or run in deep snow yet due to his elbow surgery. The orthopedists say that deep snow is one of the toughest challenges for a dog with a bad joint. So, he ran on plowed surfaces with the Runner in the morning.
During our hike yesterday morning, it was 20°F with fresh snow but birds still sat atop the pine trees and sang their Springtime songs.
Bird songs followed us everywhere as we wandered the snowy but sunny hills, making me smile.
By evening, the snow had melted enough that R could hike on the trails. He threw back his head and sang with joy!
As the Duo and I finished our evening hike, we saw the full moon rise, a glorious sight, especially knowing the Eclipse was coming later that night.
The world is unbelievably beautiful.
wow. just wow.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, indeed, and your last photo of the moon, super, we didn't get to see any of the eclipse, cloud all night. Shyla loves that deep snow, and R will be happy to stroll out there again. Cheers,Jean

Such a beautiful place. You are indeed lucky.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the wow! I'm glad R had some fun even though he has to be careful. Those pictures of Shyla make my spirits soar.
ReplyDeleteAll of the pictures are gorgeous, but I love that one of Shyla near the end with the snowy tree behind her. We had snow yesterday which is very unusual for us this time of year. I feel like winter will never end!

Yep, this world is beautiful and you manage to consistently capture that beauty.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous..
ReplyDeleteSpring snows have their own special joy and gossimerness...so magical! Did you witness the eclipse?
ReplyDeleteDid you see the eclipse? I went outside but the sky was like cottonwool. Nice and balmy, though - I came back in and opened windows. Now we're in the middle of big rains, and snow is predicted...but I'm sure we've turned a corner!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Pictures! It looks Lovely with all snow.
ReplyDeleteWe will have a warm Easter about +20 C is told.
Now you have a beard like we do, Shyla!
ReplyDeleteSing it loud and clear, R!
Your pictures are stunning, KB!

Oh - I would never tell you it's the last snow! Just think of all our wildflower seeds and the moisture they'll be getting.
