Our Short Winter Seems to Have Ended

Like winter elsewhere in the world, winter where I live seems to have ended as well. I am adding a couple of sunset pictures from the last day of February when the temperature reached 63 degrees Fahrenheit (or 17 degrees Celsius).

It might be a few more weeks before the magnolia blossoms start opening. I noticed earlier today that some of the grass in the park across the street from where I live has started to turn green.

I was lucky to get the picture of the geese in the last picture here. I had turned away and was starting to walk back toward the car when I heard the geese and quickly turned around to get that shot.

My wife and I sometimes fantasize about having a house with an unobstructed view of the west, making it possible to capture the sunset every day.  Our view of the sunset currently is obstructed by hills. On Sunday, we drove about ten or fifteen miles south to a secluded spot to get these pictures.
