spring is... coming

My eggs told me this was going to be a good weekend. Turns out my eggs were right - 100 km in two days makes for a very good weekend.

They weren't a quick 100k. It's still very much winter here and the trails are very icy. It even snowed a bit.

That ice-fast boat suggests wintery conditions will be here for awhile.


The migrants have begun arriving but I can't image what they're eating. There's still a half meter of snow on the ground.

This porcupine has it figure out. It wasn't so pleased that I was so close but, judging by the way it just looked at the ground, it wasn't concerned enough to jump. It soon went back to stripping the bark from the tree.

Destructive buggers.
