March winds are blowing. There are some signs of Spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


This time of year has been called MUD season.
There are days when it’s still cold, as winter hasn’t yet passed. Yet there are warm
days when the ground begins to thaw. Snow melts to water. The ground gets
muddy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One year we visited New Hampshire at this time.
A lot of the landscape was still bare and brownish.
We took a scenic drive along the Kancamagus Highway.
The view changed as we went from lower elevation to higher elevation. From low
elevation with bare brown trees and brush to higher elevation with snow covered
mountain tops.
We stopped at one point to check out a short trail. We came across tracks in the
snow. They were moose tracks.
Great pics were taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Spring is forthcoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below I am featuring a Pastel painting of a mare and foal in a paddock at this time of
year. Snow melting away to Spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Best,
