The weather here in March - or at any time of year, for that matter - is predictably unpredictable. You never know what's going to happen next. Nothing out of the ordinary happened this time, but I do remember a couple of incidents in the past where it was snowing, thundering and flashing lightning all at once - in May, if I'm not mistaken. That was a little bit weird. I titled this post "Typical Alberta Spring" because that's exactly what this March has been. We went from the single-digit minuses at the beginning of March, to having some beautifully warm days. Almost all the snow had melted, and a lot of the resulting mini-ponds had mostly dried up. Then BOOM, I woke up the other morning and there's snow on the ground again. I think it's been lightly snowing almost non-stop for two or three days now. And I am absolutely fine with that! We've had such a mild winter that I'm not quite ready for spring yet, though I do enjoy spring as well. Anyway, that's enough of my rambling about the weather. I've got 12 photos this time, so here you go! Sunset on March 15: Pussy willows; spruce needles; a snow-drifted path through the trees; and the sunset reflecting off of a puddle in the field, all on March 16. Blue jays on the 20th. (It's not the greatest quality picture because I was taking it through the window screen.) And the sunset from the same day. Snowing again on the 21st, and after it stopped, the sun came out and was making the fresh snow sparkle. I love it when that happens; it looks so pretty. And finally, three from today. The top two are just pictures I took in different directions, of the falling snow. And the last one is of some icicles that I thought looked neat . . . and also kind of murderous, so hopefully they don't unexpectedly fall on anyone!
