Farewell, Old Man
Apr 7, 2018 18:56:41 #
The time has come to bid farewell to winter
For some it's sad, good riddance for others
I'll miss the snowman with his broom and top hat
But not the dreary days or chilling winds that blow
Give me blue skies, white clouds and no more snow
In Michigan we're never sure when Old Man Winter will depart. We have a lovely spring but it's a short season because the Old Man overstayed his welcome.
On April 4 we had a hail storm, followed by rain and snow.
You'll prob'ly scream if you see another winter picture;I need to get these out of my system, so please bare with me. Some are recent captures and some from the archives.
I tried to put this picture of robins first but wasn't successful, so it's on the tail-end. A bad image but included because it's unusual - 6 robins gathered in protest of snow. I wish I had a bucket of worms.

Very nice set, especially 2,4&5 for me. Any chance of a description for no. 5?
Edit: Yup, enough of the cold!

Nice set. I too would like a hint on #5. I see a few different possibilities in it

In this part of the country we call 'Michiana', because its kind of in both states, we understand.

I appreciate getting such a nice response, Bruce, #5 (an ice formation) was created by using SmartPhotoEditorStudio, a free program.

Thanks for your comment, cessnalvr. #5 was started out as a formation of ice. I used SmartPhotoEditorStudio, a free program, to produce this effect.
