Early Evening Above the Falls

With the evenings staying lighter, I've managed to escape for a quick hike in the early evening provided we have an early dinner.  The other night I made it out to the river above the falls. 

 

I'm just aching for Spring to come and then we can walk in the evenings as a family.

She says, springtime's coming wait 'til you see it

While walking out to get the mail last evening, I felt it.

The air has changed, and the great wheels are turning.  Spring is creeping ever closer.

There was a freshness in the air that wasn't there the day before.  The smell of new.

It's in the wind, in the golden evening sun.  In the slush of my driveway, and the weird crunchy ice like dirty lace, that forms on the gravel shoulder of the road.  It's in the cockeyed grin of my slowly diminishing snow girl.
