Signs of spring
It looks like spring has officially arrived in Munising and the rest of the U.P. This entire week has been sunny and gradually warming as the week goes on. Around town, most of the snow has melted except for piles from snowplowing. Outside of town, and to east, there’s still quite a bit of snow on the ground and it will probably be in to May before it’s gone. On Munising Bay, there’s still ice but it’s highly unstable. Some people are still ice fishing but from the luxury of a flat-bottom boat. You know the ice is bad when they’re resorting to that. Another sign of spring is the wildlife sightings. This past week, I’ve seen a few sandhill cranes, variety of ducks and even a fox chasing a coyote across the highway.
With the warm weather today, I decided to go for a walk and bring the camera along. Here’s a few shots from around town.
