Good-bye to April

Friends, we are saying Good-bye to the month of April. I know we are all waiting for those warmer spring days, and I am no exception. Unfortunately around here we have not quite put winter behind us, although it will be happening soon.

I still have some 'icy' pictures to share. Let's forget that they look cold and rather focus on the beauty seen in these images.

As the ice melts it can form all sorts of interesting shapes. 

These ice formations were in a pond and of course I had no way of getting any closer.

It looked like paper thin shards of ice sticking up in random forms. Delicate and beautiful.

As the sun was hitting these formations in different ways they changed looks. I was mesmerized by the beauty I was seeing.

Canada geese show up in Southern Manitoba before the ponds and lakes have thawed. I thought they made a pretty picture against the snow.

I have hundreds of Canada Goose photos, but still keep on getting more.In spring their calls are so welcome. It means that spring is on the way, even when it seems to take a long time to show up.

PS: The day I am posting this,Saturday April 30, we have had significant rain and now many streets in my town are closed due to flooding and in some places bridges are washed out. We could be complaining, but I prefer to give thanks for the moisture. The waters will run off and the sun will shine again.

Know this:

My world is brighter and more beautiful because of you.

Thank You.
