Description


----
We are in a temporary thaw but it is about to end. I see forecast for March 3 up to 13 inches of new snow! So the Spring Dance must continue.
----
This April 2011 image was updated by applying Photoshop CC's "Shake Reduction" filter (under the Sharpen menu). This red dogwood tree is in our front yard.
