Through leafless trees we see a tiny silhouette, a tilted head, a glint in the eye of one who is watching. The sand feels soft and deep where the loch retreats. We are grateful for a break between the snows of this long Winter.

I, too, love Eivor’s action shot. No taste of spring in Maine, and there probably won’t be until April.

Thank you Laurie, we continue to have rises and dips in temperature here. We were in the glen on Friday, enjoying the birdsong and by Saturday morning it was all covered in snow again :o) xxx

Temperamental. Over the weekend went from a low of 5 above zero (Fahrenheit) to a high of well above 30.

Wow! The temperatures in Maine are fluctuating in a similar way they do inland from where we are. Keep warm and cosy! :o) xxx

Thanks, Xenia. We do. We have a wood furnace that provides a cozy heat for the whole house.

Lovely images, a moment of happiness, a moment without snow and when the snow is back, it’s once again happiness, after the break, before the arrival of the spring 🐾 💖
