Spring!!!

Spring has arrived in the North! On Saturday, the lakes and ponds were still somewhat frozen over, but by Monday evening, all the ice and snow was gone. Within the past week, new green leaves have exploded out everywhere. It went from barren leafless trees to vivid green overnight almost. The sun is up above the horizon for twenty hours of the day, and we have visible light for the whole twenty-four hours. Really dark curtains come in very handy this time of year.

This sunset was taken on Saturday around 11:30 at night. You can see the ice still covering most of the lake. When we drove past this lake on Monday, all the ice was gone.

Some green trees!!!

This picture was taken on a rainy day at Angel Rocks, a place about an hour's drive and then an hour's hike from where we live. Michael photographed a wedding up there. The bride had to endure rain, hail and mosquitos for her wedding.
