1. The entire length of Skyline Drive reopened today. The ice is gone from the roads and the fallen trees are finally cleared. Now we can drive the length of Shenandoah National Park and see views like this.

3. From there, I turned and looked up the lane and saw some people walking on Wilkins Loop.
Blandy is a beautiful park with an educational mission. It is a research and learning facility, open to the public and also known as the State Arboretum of Virginia.
5. We have plenty of water but no serious flooding. I've seen photos of the terrible flooding in other places, especially Nebraska and Madagascar. To me it is obvious that the world can expect more of this because there's more moisture in the atmosphere, the result of melting glaciers. Yet many people don't believe in climate change and refuse to consider preparing for it.
Well, people laughed at Noah too.
6. Spring is finally here! We are seeing early flowers and the trees are coming back to life.

Spring is a wonderful season! Here not yet any flowers to see, but the snow is almost totally gone and the sun is shining! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLooks like spring. Love your sky shot!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post. Noah is an example for us.
ReplyDelete...a wonderful collection of spring images. We went to a state park this week and they were busy cleaning up all of the downed trees, what a mess. Your first image is the winner for me. Thanks Linda for stopping by, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful view from the Skyline Drive. I love your spring photos too!
ReplyDeleteNoah warned them for 140 years. Lots of groups doing relief around me, most right now is farther south along the Missouri River.
ReplyDeleteYou live in a beautiful area and photograph it well. Climate change denialism is a big problem. I am in the hydrocarbon industry and it is a serious problem. Some of my geologist acquaintances who are honest are building tornado shelters because "there is more and more energy in the atmosphere" in geek talk.
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm worried for people living in mobile homes.
DeleteThat is a lovely pink and lavender sky. Glad you can again access the lovely Skyline Drive.
