Of Rocks, Roots, and Shadows of the Past

A giant dropped this massive rock sculpture here, so its photo might delight my blogging friends.

Ancient tree stumps huddle together, missing the long gone forest that once flourished on fertile land.

Once a verdant tree, now dead in the sand, the stump reduced to a shadowy spectre of its former self.

Still deeply rooted, it serves with outstretched arms as Nature’s sentinel over human recklessness.

Despite blue sky and above freezing temperatures …

Winter is not over at the Arrow Lakes. I recall many winter storms in March, when schools were closed due to treacherous conditions on our highways. However, the sun feels warm and the days are getting longer with every passing week. Driving 10 km south on Applegrove Road yesterday, we reached our viewpoint that is about 300 m higher than the lake level. What a difference the change in altitude made! We spent a full hour basking in the sunshine and taking pictures.

More cheerful photos on my blog.

Birds flutter around leafless trees.

What we’re still missing are the bees.

Wait my stony friend. Spring is on the way.

And you, Old-Man-Winter, must not stay another day.

Winter, where is your cold spell?

Winter, where is your snow?
