The colors of spring are a most welcome sight after a long winter.
And this year was no exception.
The river was running a little high.

The rain was coming down and freezing upon contact one February afternoon.
When it finally stopped, I was anxious to get outside, but being in the middle of something, my walk was delayed.
The temps were quickly rising, and I could see the ice falling from the tree branches as I watched from the window....

Just after a fresh snowfall, when everything is still covered, black and white are the predominate colors in the winter.
The red of the cardinal birds stands out beautifully in the trees.
The blue of the sky beyond those trees is just as vivid as the red birds....

This photo was taken about four years ago on a winter trip to the ocean at Rye Harbor.
Part of the State Park system in NH, we have visited here at least a couple times a year for as long as I can remember.
This past year we were never able to make the trip and the ocean was surely missed by us both....
