Has Spring finally sprung?

Yesterday the weather was really terrible! We had Thunder and Lightning along with Hail Storms (2 times in one day), snow, rain and a little sun. The temps went from 55 degrees to 31 degrees.

Today has been an Awesome day! Most of the day we had SUN and Temps up to 58 degrees. So, while I had a chance to do it, I went out to play with my camera. Here are a few photos that I took while playing around with different settings .



















Meanwhile, my Grand-daughters were out of school, so they decided to use the good weather to get some exercise riding their bikes.

And here is my oldest Grand-daughter Sheryl:







All in all, I think the day turned out pretty darned good for all of us involved. I hope that you enjoy the photos as much as we do!

Pictures were wonderful Grandpa. I just wish spring would hurry up and get here. We still have a lot of snow in the yard and surrounding hills. It has been a tough year on the deer, elk and antelope here. We got so much snow in early December that the deer and antelope were having trouble finding enough to eat. We lost several mountain sheep due to pneumonia. They predict we will losr over 50% of the deer herds in the basin. They started feeding these animals back in late January I think is when they started and are still feeding a few herds of deer. The snow is beginning to receed and bare ground showing, sure seeing a lot of animals that didnt make it through the winter.

Well keep in touch Grandpa, nice to have you back!
