Winter starts to wane

Lakes opening to spring’s smile

    Glad to see things starting to warm up a bit in your neck of the woods.

      Thank-you, Janice. That was my first photo adventure since early winter that I had mentioned earlier to you. I was pleased with the light. Appreciate your wonderful comment. 🙂

    Reblogged this on Friendly Fairy Tales and commented:

    We are trading spring for winter and back again here. This resonates with me. And it ends on a truth that echoed like a bell. I hope you like it as well.
