The Spawn

We took a drive down some back roads the other day.  As we rounded a bend in the road, we spooked up more than a dozen eagles where the creek narrowed under a bridge.  In the moving water under the bridge the suckers were thick in the spawn.

Chillin’

Jo was home for a week’s vacation (timed to meet her brand new niece, Baylee). She lucked out to witness ice out. Even though she grew up observing this evidence of spring each year, it had been a few years since her last time. It was fun to hang out and ‘chill’.

Frozen again

Overnight (March 27), the minus Celsius temperatures caused the small areas of melted lake to freeze again, locking and elevating the ice floes that had broken loose, floating free the day before.

At some point, a skim of ice was formed and a remnant held tight to the edge of this chunk.
