I certainly wouldn’t have believed it and I still don’t, but the Canada Geese have returned already predicting a very early spring. I still expect some major cold weather and snow storms and hope the geese will be ok.
But – the critters seem to know the weather and their forecasts are often more accurate than the ‘professional’ weather forecasters. So – who knows.
Yesterday I took a quick drive through Birds Hill Provincial Park and came back with pictures of trees and one Raven that started flying away as I rolled my window down to take his picture.
I had originally been planning on going for a walk at Fort Whyte yesterday, but realized when I stopped for gas that I wasn’t dressed warmly enough for walking. The temperature wasn’t too bad, but the wind was nasty.
This morning I dressed better for walking and I headed over to Fort Whyte. There was more of a wind that when I got there than there had been before I left home though and combined with the icy paths, I didn’t stay long. There were absolutely no deer to be found this trip, but I did see 10 Canada Geese in some of the open water near where a spring feeds into the lake – so it wasn’t a wasted trip.
I ended up with more trees, some grass, geese and squirrel shots at Fort Whyte, before deciding to head back home.
I guess we will have to wait and see if the weather prediction from the Canada Geese really means an actual early spring for us here. I have no idea what the ‘professional’ weather predictors are saying, but the geese are back in February. 🙂
I believe it! Have you seen the weather? It’s beautiful!!

Well, it is certainly beautiful for February – but March has been known to hit back hard, so I’m still not holding my breath. 🙂

Thanks Irene. I would love an early spring, but I am still expecting winter to hit back.

I do understand you Mavis. While I lived in Denmark, we had the risk to get freezing degrees until the beginning of June, which have destroyed much, when this happened.

We’ve had a lot of awful weather, but also a few brief glimpses into an upcoming spring with the odd touch of sunshine and slightly brighter evenings. Fantastic photographs! x

Thanks Invisibly Me. Weather is often unpredictable – guess that is why we never get bored talking about it.
