The Big Melt

14 Comments

We are warming up! And it’s really a long awaited, very much appreciated change of temperature.

Lots of water.

You can see from the photo that we had a lot of snow, but it’s melting so fast that we now have mini-lakes and streams everywhere. Bring your waders!

The sun has some real power (and our days are long: more than 15 hours at this point) and it won’t be long before the leaves burst through.

Gotta love that blue!

Happy mid-week. 🙂

It’s a Monster!

11 Comments

Dene oral tradition refers to a deadly monster who would sometimes confront kayakers as they attempted to travel or hunt.

In earlier times, the idea of this fanged and tailed crocodile-like creature trying to grab a kayak and its occupant would have inspired a great deal of consternation!

A very scary creature.

Although it certainly still does, the weather is now defeating this monster snow carving. We are much warmer and the sun is shining, a very welcome change!

We still have a lot of snow on the lakes, but it, and the ice underneath it, will soon be gone.

Happy week! 🙂
