Nature's Contrast - Early Spring in Florida while Snow falls in Minnesota

These photos were taken within three days of each other.  A cold wintry day in Minnesota as Azaleas are blooming in North Florida.

Snow, Ice and Frozen Lake time for fishing huts!

Bees in Early Spring

Today feels like the first day of  spring.  Literary thousands of birds have descended on the trees in the neighborhood, the flowers are starting to bloom and the bees are busy.  Yes folks, it is the season for the birds and the bees

Cloud of angels circling the Earth

At sunrise, the rays were hitting the side of the mountain. There was a pillar crown of clouds on top and luminous Angels circling the mountain. A glorious morning to behold.

Angel Wings or a Spirit Apparition at Lake Granby

The clouds were shaped like angel wings descending down to earth and took flight across the lake.

Grand Lake Morning Mist and Evening Twlight

 Early Morning Mist settles on the mountains near Grand Lake.  Felt like we were driving on top of clouds.

Evening is coming and the twlight of colors dance from the sky to the lake.

Surreal Twlight Volcano Cotopaxi

 

Volcano Cotopaxi

Since 1738, Cotopaxi has erupted more than 50 times, which created the numerous valleys formed by lahars (mudflows) around the volcano. Cotopaxi poses a high risk to the local population, their settlements and fields. Cotopaxi's most violent eruptions in historical times occurred in the years 1744, 1768, and 1877. In the 1877 eruption pyroclastic flows descended all sides of the mountain, with lahars traveling more than 100 km into the Pacific Ocean and western Amazon basin draining the valley.
