photoblog image Part Two of Hill

Part Two of Hill

This is a very steep part of yesterday's walk.  I'm about two thirds down the second part of the hill.  This is my first view of the beach on our first full day of spring yesterday. There is quite a bit of melting to go yet, as you can see.

Ella Fitzgerald - Spring
Tom Rush - Urge For Going

We walk carefully on An Island Walk.

Man! Doesn't look like spring at all, Mary! But at least we know it IS on its way for even you! It's hard to believe that's actually a beach!
Mary MacADNski: We have glorious summers where everyone flocks to the beaches. Yes, it will come. We do start to get antsy about now though.

You should have brought a crazy carpet and slid down. Olivia and Rachel could have lent you one, they had a blast here on the hills that Papa made for them.
Mary MacADNski: I actually thought about that at the top but of course didn't have one with me. It would probably have put me in hospital. Ha, maybe you're wanting a little vacation, are you? Love ya.

Somehow looks more gentle and less dramatic than yesterday's shot, Mary.

Looks like you have a way to go before Spring dominates.
Mary MacADNski: It is much steeper here but shady so there has not been much melting. I should have taken a shot sooner. We are a patient lot here, waiting for spring.

Heck Mary: is that the sea down there?
Mary MacADNski: That is the frozen sea, Chris. We've a way to go yet. I showed the icy Strait last week, saying ferries would soon be crossing.

Spring isn't in a real rush in your part of the world, looks hazardous to try and walk on
Mary MacADNski: It is hazardous without ice shoes. Spring will come.

Very very difffernt from our first day of spring, Mary. The Great White Fat-Bellied Male has been exposiing himself for the fast few weeks here!
Mary MacADNski: That is quite a vision you provide. Spring will arrive. We just need some warmer temps.
Not exactly my idea of "spring" but love the way the path leads to openess of the sea and the sunshine..
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Gayathri. We are yearning for spring. We just need some warmer temps and everything will happen.

Not quite beach weather yet Mary Lol
Mary MacADNski: No, vintage, but soon, I hope.
Spring is on the horizon of your image here wink Listening to Ella Fitzgerald and feeling good!
Mary MacADNski: She's the greatest! Spring will come. It has never failed us yet.
Sring is different from one place to another one! This one is quite luminous!
Mary MacADNski: Yes, spring is quite different here. You now understand my amazement at your bush flowering over a month ago.

It looks like the light at the end of the tunnel
Mary MacADNski: That's what I'm hoping for. Spring at the end of winter's tunnel.
This is not my idea of Spring Mary grin
Mary MacADNski: It's not my idea either, Bill. Spring will arrive though, with all it's goodness.
I'll trade my office view any day for this !
