Adam, the picture was taken the last week in March. Up to that point we had been having a very mild end to winter/beginning of spring. We were expecting a very early ice out date. Then we got winter back, the sudden drop in temp making the fog, don’t you know, and had to wait several more weeks for both days of real spring to arrive.
Wait. Is that what you meant to say? I love it “… for BOTH days of real spring …” What is it now, if spring is over? (In Vt and NH, mud season comes BEFORE spring.)
Mud season? whattzat? We don’t got no steenkin’ mud season. Snow season, flower season, sun season, then snow season. No mud, no crud, out heer in Colorfulado!
Rubbing noses? Not hardly. But I hear that even Montana has a mud season. Last weeek our fogie 4some-1 ran into a wonderful Montana family, Kevin, Joanne and 2 boys and a girl ranging from 8 to 12, down in the depths of Escalante Canyon, UT. While their kids sported in the shallows of the Escalante River, we had a nice chat about the lovely canyons around us, the redwall, the petroglyphs, the wildflowers (Blog story to come.) . They said that they flee their Bozeman home during the Montana mud season–April and May–and move down to Utah every year.
I think the mud season already passed here in Boulder, back in March sometime, when the trails were muddy, icy and impassable without snow shoes and crampons. Not exactly a New England or Minnesota mud season, though.
Cool picture, nice light and clarity (for all the fogginess … ). Salutations, FB!
Is that image recent? We’re having a nice spring, almost preview of summer — ice seems anomalous now.

Wow! I love this picture. It seems to be a fitting location for someone who chooses to go by the name Fierce Baby.
