The radio tells me that the snow is "virtually gone" in the South; we must be in the North. Here, it is still plainly winter. There are definite signs, and it has been an outstandingly gentle season (especially compared to the last three years for snow accumulation, and the three before that for cold), but Spring is merely "in the air," and not yet on the ground. That may change very soon--the sun has definite punch and while the temperature drops sharply over night (about -10° shortly after dawn), the days are regularly above zero.
The blue of the sky is losing its winter intensity, the snow is increasingly granular from the freeze-thaw cycle, and even the little trees are poking their heads up. Here's a tiny balsam fir struggling to find some sun.
I used the 28-80 mm lens from the film-era Rebel today. Sometimes it works and sometimes it seems a little incompatible. The autofocus may be to blame.
