We're getting wind from the Sahara desert here in Austria. Its not only warm and dry making the spring weather really awesome, it also carries so much desert sand with it that the air looks a bit brownish-foggy. 

I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

What spring?

 

Picture from March 30.  North Carolina

I feel for you.  I call this spring time in Hartford, Connecticut:

That was taken at 9am March 31st, about 3-4 inches fell in the span of about 3 hours.  Luckily, it will be gone by evening as it's supposed to get up to high 40s today, but I've lived in Connecticut long enough to know that there is a reasonable chance that this won't be the last snow we get this "spring".  We've gotten snow as late as the last week of April before.  I imagine people in North Carolina aren't used to the weather we've gotten this winter and having snow this late in the year.  Here it's standard procedure, though this winter was one of the coldest I've every gone through in Connecticut.  We didn't have a February and a March, we had 3 months of January instead.

Here's a lovely sunset with a weird cloud formation I saw a couple of days ago, when I was gandering a few reluctant muscovy ducks on the western edge of my property.

This has been an abnormally long and cold winter.  But things are looking up.  :)  Spring does appear to be right around the corner.

@kgambit: What a lovely photo! :)

 

And btw. I got auto-corrected. I wasn't gendering or sexing any ducks. I was gandering them, hehe.

 

@Woldan: Yes! The colours were insane. The sky was on fire, and that formation was almost whirling. Still everything was calm.

The black-n-white one outside one of our outbuildings is the drake. The much smaller grey-n-white one is one of his ducks.

Winter has finally released its icy grip on Connecticut, so here are some pictures from around Bushnell Park in downtown Hartford.

My dad and his wife stayed in groovy new six-story pool-top hotel here in Oceanside. Monday was the first cool, cloudy day in weeks that saw 100 degrees on the coast.

 

I still haven't removed the plastic film covering the backside of my phone where the camera lens is, because I don't know.

Its just a photo of wild water (waterfall) shopped till I liked it, but the longer I look at it the more I appreciate it. It has a deep melancholic vibe for me.  And if you let your fantasy run wild you can see demons and strange figures in the water that look like they're trying to swim upstream.

Took my camera with me when I went cycling through the countryside.  Even though I hate to disrupt my cycling rythm.

Its tradition here in Austria to build little fun displays with mannequins on the driveway when a farmer has their 30th,40th,50th,60th and 70th birthday. This one obviously belongs to a sheep farmer.

:) but i think the joke is outdated, I don't think anyone calls Cocaine that way anymore.

 

@Woldan, you have some really nice scenery within riding distance, thanks for sharing :)
