Spring has begun

snow is melting

river rising

aquas and green water rushing

Montana Rockies 

wearing Snow cloak

wandering

hoping to find a freshly fallen antler

and there it was!

first butterfly sighing of the year!

river rocks

dressed in sunlight and snowmelt

because so many of you love our river rocks

just so that you can see them dry

sandy floor

then i noticed

most the sticks on the beach whittled at each end!

beaver home must have been torn apart by the river.

never knew they chewed each side of their sticks:

wet and dry:

i feel thrilled 

with our new season Spring

except

that i found a tick walking around on me yesterday
