Early Spring Scenes

After what seems like a long winter, spring is slowly coming alive in southern Manitoba.

One of the highlights of every spring is the return of the migrating birds. Some of our earliest returnees are the raptors, such as Golden and Bald Eagles.

Below is what I think is an immature Bald Eagle. Correct me if I'm wrong. Seeing these birds soar through the sky is always a thrill.


Another highlight of spring is the melting of snow and thus the running water in ditches and ravines. The sound of spring runoff is music to my ears.


The water does not look particularly clean, and indeed it likely isn't, but it still makes a beautiful sound.


I also like the unique ice formations along the edges of this water. Nature just creates the most attractive artistic display.



I know what this place looks like the rest of the year and I have never had the urge to get a picture here. With the blue sky reflected in this pool of spring water, suddenly this becomes a beautiful shot.

 

I feel like someone may need this encouragement today:

Do not quit:

Somebody is praying for you and you WILL make it through this.
