Spring in New England can be a mixed bag weather wise. I have witnessed blizzards in April, and snow in May. The last few weeks have overall been amazing. Temps in the 60’s and on a few days reaching into the 80’s. We actually escaped the winter pretty much unscathed. It was pretty mild snow wise, we did have a few very cold snaps, but really I can’t complain about the winter. I must admit though, as I get older, I do hate the cold more and more. If CA wasn’t so expensive, I have been told San Diego is the place to be! I am hoping to go out there for a visit this year, and meet up with some Flickr friends. When I got up yesterday morning, I could hear it raining outside. It was about 5:45am when I left the house and the first thing I noticed as I got in the car was that snow was mixed in with the rain. lt’s April 16th remember! I go to a fitness bootcamp, and as the hour went on it started snowing a bit harder and actually sticking to the cars and the ground. I drove home in the snow, and thought that I needed to document global warming in action for all you skeptics out there! (For the record, I am not a believer in global warming, and I think things like this just help to show how foolish the notion really is) There were some snow covered buds, and flowers around the property, and I was wishing I had my tripod as I couldn’t get down as low as I wanted to, since the ground was soaked. My hands aren’t as steady as they used to be either! When you are taking macro shots a tripod really is a must to get nice sharp photos. I will admit a few of these are not quite sharp, and I would normally delete them, but I did like them, and I think they work. 
after writing this post, I just found out it is snowing like crazy in the North Country! Here are a few pictures I took off my friend Karen’s facebook from this morning.
