Weekend Snapshot: Spring Comes Dropping Slow

Host unlimited photos at slide.com for FREE!

Here in Connecticut, the first signs of spring include boxwoods opening up, dry birch leaves that will soon give way to new ones, rhododendron leaves that are no longer pinched with frostbite, and Canada geese making the long march home after a very long flight North. Spring is slow and subtle, brown and green.

  6. Spring is peaking out all over!

    We have a single pair of Canadian Geese who return each year to our Swamp. They arrived about 3 weeks ago to raise their little family of goslings. Last year did not bode well for the goslings as the extreme drought dried up the Swamp entirely. We had to put out kiddie pools for the wildlife. After 3 weeks there was only one gosling and 2 days later only the geese remained, and they left a few days after that. I was quite surprised to see them return again this year, but I am very glad to see them!

    I can only imagine where the geese are coming from if this is their stop on their way back north!

    It is a wonderful refreshing time of year.

    A tradition with our family is to count how many signs of spring we see along the way when we take walks. The little ones really enjoy this after being couped up all winter!

    Spring is coming here, too. You take so many great pictures. Would you share how you host them and organize them. Blogger is going buggy about photographs and I want to be prepared.

    hi Sandy,

    what do you mean by your comment on this: I visited a site on tonight’s blogroll only to encounter ads for pornography. You who stoop to this might want to consider how you affect the credibility of Weekend Snapshot as well as bloggers who dare visit your blog.

  47. I always look forward to Spring and the end of Wintertime Sandy, although it's still quite cold here in England and some areas of the country have very bad stormy conditions.
