    Default Happy Spring Equinox!

    It's the spring equinox, but we're getting dumped on with snow up here in Wisconsin. For the better part of the last hour and a half, Dad and I tried to help our mail carrier get her truck unstuck from our driveway with little success. We did manage to get it pointed back out towards the street, as seen here, but she ultimately had to get a tow truck.

    The temperature is just 31 degrees so our clothes are soaking wet!!! Not to mention my camera. I purposefully my Canon Mark IIn and the 24-70 because they are weather sealed!!!

    Long long time since I have seen a scene like that. I am guessing by now you are looking for a spring break. Beautiful capture and thanks for sharing David.

    That's the way I remember it many years...ago when I was growing up in Sheboygan Falls, WI. Devil's Lake was my favorite place to camp and climb in the summer.
    Now that is how it ALWAYS looks up here, two weeks after Fall Equinox (some times on Fall Equinox), Winter Equinox and Spring Equinox....Summer Equinox is the only one I haven't seen snow here. Only a month or two of snow left this winter. :) Enjoy and Good use of the 2n & 24-70.

    Todd: just note that June 21 and Dec 21 are solstices, not equinoxes. Cheers!!!

    Fabs,
    Fortunately I was just in North and South Carolina to thaw out, but we are all headed for Florida for the first week of April and are looking forward to it!!!
