My Throwback Thursday post this week is traveling back to early April 2008.

Blue Hour Spring Ice
Tag: dusk
This is my contribution to the Cosmic Photo Challenge: As the evenings start to lengthen prompt.
I quickly decided to go back to pre Covid-19 times when I could get out and about more. Then I remembered the spring of 2008. The last spring I was living in Southampton, Ontario and a year when there was some interesting snow and ice formations on Lake Huron.
Late winter and this section of Lake Huron is frozen and partly snow covered. Chantry Island and its lighthouse is on the horizon.
Chantry Island and its lighthouse at sunset a day or two after the spring equinox. Lake Huron in the foreground has partially thawed and refrozen.
A week into spring and there’s some interesting ice formations and patches of open water on Lake Huron at dusk.
Two weeks into spring and the only ice left is small pieces in the shallows along the shoreline. Chantry Island on the horizon at sunset.

First Hints of Spring
This is my contribution to the Cosmic Photo Challenge: First Hints of Spring prompt.
It was snowing hard when Dale posted the prompt so my contribution is from my archives.
Two hints of spring, a male Orange Tip Butterfly feeding on Bluebells in Cheshire, England.
A hint of spring, ice on Lake Huron, Ontario, Canada breaking up during the spring thaw.
A hint of spring, a recently arrived male Yellow-headed Blackbird singing to proclaim his territory in Saskatchewan, Canada.
A hint of spring, a male Common Merganser swimming amongst ice on Lake Huron at Southampton, Ontario, Canada during the spring thaw. The Common Merganser is known as the Goosander in Europe.

Forms of Water
This is my contribution to the Cosmic Photo Challenge: Solid, liquid and gas prompt.
After two weeks of snow and below normal temperatures there was an obvious choice for this prompt, water in its various forms.

A Bank of Cloud at Dusk
Throwback Thursday travels back to the Lake Huron shoreline in Southampton at dusk 13 years ago.
A bank of cloud behind Chantry Island and its lighthouse on Lake Huron in mid February 2008. What looks like water in the foreground is ice exposed by the wind blowing it clear of snow.
