Spring has officially been here for 7 days and 2 hours…can you tell? I thought today we might actually get some spring-like weather, but no…it’s days like this that I really appreciate electricity, hot running water, my house and my car.
This morning I set out to see what was happening around the Mississippi River and as far as I can tell, winter never left. I have assembled a slideshow over the past two weeks from photos that were originally supposed to signal the beginning of spring…unfortunately, they do not. While I had a few promising shots of the returning pelicans, as the days passed it became clear that we are still in the grip of winter and many animals are still struggling to survive it.
