The Park From Winter Into The Spring

It's been my tradition for some years now to feature a transition series at one spot, showing winter through spring. That spot is Central Park in the north part of the Glebe neighbourhood. The park is divided here as Bank Street runs through it, and is lower than the roadway itself. I take two shots each time, the first looking east and the second looking west. To begin, here's how it looked in late December one morning. 

In January on another early morning this was how things looked after a snowstorm.


In February on another morning, things were dawning brighter.


Early March in the park saw these conditions.


Later in March, the thaw had begun. It was a misty morning as I walked past


Early this month we had some snow falling to replenish the melt.


But spring does come, as does green grass. These were taken the other day.

  1. So much snow! I think 3 years ago we had snow, too. So much you could hear it when walking over it!

  4. I am sorry to see yahoos and malcontents descend on your city again, William. I hope the authorities have a little better control of the situation than they had with the truck protest. And more timely intervention too.

  6. The green grass was nice in our park yesterday, and the blue of the river beyond made the scene appealing.

  16. I've always intended to do a series like that, but have never managed to complete the exercise. So well done for having the perseverance and organisational skills to get the job done.
