These spring flowers seemed to be pushing through way too early, especially since these pictures come from a walk in mid-March!

Ruddiman Pond, March 29, 2009
Could yesterday morning’s snow be the last that we will see until next winter? It has been a long winter, but the cold has made for some really pretty walks around Muskegon.
This icy drop was part of the scenery next to Ruddiman Pond on Sunday morning.
The morning sun appears over one of the old ponds that line Muskegon’s Lakeshore Bike Trail.

This morning’s walk around Muskegon’s Ruddiman Pond was one of the coldest of the winter. While the breeze was extremely light, its effect on any exposed skin was painful.
In spite of the cold, the beautiful sunrise lighting up the ice made the trip well worth making.
The sun rises over the field at the corner of Michillinda and Lamos in Muskegon County, Michigan.
In the summertime, this corner is a really fun place to watch deer, which can be seen most hours of the day happily grazing away.
Not knowing that the circus had arrived in Muskegon made it a shock to come face to face with one of the performers this morning.
The extreme cold didn’t seem to bother my new acquaintance in the least. Indeed, he seemed not at all inclined to pull in head back into the tent!
This is one of the structural supports for the overhead walkway at Muskegon High School.

The Muskegon Farmer’s Market is still awfully cold and quiet, but it won’t be for much longer. It will be wonderful to see everyone back for another season of great friends and food.
Here is the sun coming up over the Ruddiman Creek valley just down the hill from Muskegon’s McGraft Park.
With the creek finally starting to thaw a bit, it’s really fun to watch all of the animals reappearing. Besides all of the resident ducks, there are usually a few large mammals navigating the water. These guys (beavers?) aren’t obvious as yet, but I’m sure that we’ll be seeing them any day now.
