One doesn't want to get too optimistic and excited at this time of year, but a hint of spring was in the air yesterday. After being locked in winter's icy grip for about six weeks, the temperatures actually hovered slightly above freezing yesterday. And the sun was out and the wind was down, making it a most pleasant day, a fine day to grab a coffee and reconnoiter at the park for a while.

Light and shadow seems to be the theme these days. Below is AC the Groundhog's shadow on a tree trunk.

I couldn't resist snapping the moon between the trees.
