As most of you are taking this opportunity to say thanks and give a fond farewell to your god Ullr, some myth from another time period, I think I'll just give my gratitude to the "Old Man"......he worked hard this winter and it don't come easy for him any more. With a little help from the Christ Child, he produced arguably the most memorable winter of our lifetimes. He is gone now, but he left the kid behind,... at least for a while. His graying skies will give way to squall lines of thunderheads that will sweep diagonally across the country, devastating the unaware along the way.
But could we ask for anything more, several feet of snow gone in the matter of a week,...out like a lamb?
As the big light bulb starts playing games with shadows, we recognize the end of the first quarter of play today at 1:32 in the PM...makes me wanna take a quick flight down to Quito, Ecuador,... walk my way 240 meters past the crowds at La Mitad del Mundo,....... spread my limbs across two different hemispheres,.....and stare up at the mighty Pachincha with a Cheshire cat grin, knowing that the Madre has still got control over La Casa!...And behind every great man, there is a great woman.
See you in the woods.

Gracias for the clarification.
I thought you were trying to say there was a seed-child left behind from the long cold winter nights.
Are those two pics shot near the same place?
Great post, as usual. 'Twas a great winter and I'm glad I was able to join you on at least one adventure.
Camps, the bottom two pics are from the same place, just didn't get the rock in the background on the summer pic.
I guess I should have said thanks for both pics! I can't always remember who shot them, but I obviously save them all!
