Back to posting another five images from my archives. As usual, I will add the description from under a previously posted photo taken on the same outing.
HAPPY SPRING, EVERYONE!
Sunday, 20 March 2022: our temperature was 0°C (windchill -7°C) at 1:00 pm. Sunrise was at 7:39 am, and sunset was at 7:49 pm. We had a tiny bit of snow last night/this morning.
"On 14 February 2019, I was so lucky. A friend phoned to see if I'd like to go with her for a quick drive east of the city. I hadn't been expecting to get out for a few days, as I had a cortisone injection in my left hip the previous day and one is supposed to rest for a few days. Another 10 days and I get a shot in the other hip. I wasn't going to drive anywhere, but being driven and no walking sounded just too nice to turn down. We also both knew that snow was in the forecast for the next two or three days.
We were very lucky with an owl sighting and this one flew to a fairly close fence post - and just stayed there. Looks like a bit of its most recent snack of Meadow Vole was still on the tip of its beak in some of my photos.
The temperature was a few degrees "less cold" than the previous 12 or so days. However, it was still SOOOO cold, so photos were taken with gloved hands. Two weeks of deep freeze has not been enjoyable, to say the least. This morning, 15 February, it is "only" -20C (windchill -25C) and snow fell overnight."
