A little "sigh" of Spring...

...better get out and enjoy it!


....because it appears we will need to get through the April Fools joke that is heading our way on Friday.... and then perhaps we will be able to advance to the next season.

Spring Skiing at its Best

Spring skiing brings with it thoughts of bright blue skies and warm temperatures.

Well we got the bright blues but mother nature was stingy with the temps and she was blowin' spring out the window.

When high winds come up only surface lifts run. The T bar brings you "half way" up the course.

That means you hike the other half to the start gate.

....a bit of my day with some wonderful,

young adults who I've come to admire

greatly over the years.

The Great Cardboard Sled DerbyI

I absolutely enjoy shooting the annual Gilford Parks and Recreation Cardboard Sled Derby.

It's just good old fashioned fun for the kids that partake during their winter vacation week.

I find there is quite a bit of creativity involved with cardboard, paint and duct tape.

Over the past few years I've also noticed that there is quite a bit of "sizing up" of the competition.

Don't know about you .... but I would say the

gentlemen are thinkin' they're hosed! :)
