There’s a saying in Cumbria; you don’t get the real spring till it’s fooled you, twice…
But you do get the sun; and its increased energy brings real life to the natural colours in the landscape and the sky.
Below: One of the great trees on the shores of Lake Windermere has a large network of half-exposed roots which look magically green in the bright March morning sun.
The final shot, below, was taken just before the sun dropped past the western horizon. The change from sunset to twilight is rapid – the final moments before providing rich, saturated colours and contrasts.

I like that saying. Sounds like the spring here in Buffalo. It’s spring but bitterly cold.

Thank you, SilverAQ. I think Omaha is the nearest I’ve ever been to Buffalo. I’m sure it’s beautiful country 😎

Actually, that’s nonsense. We did once venture up to Jay Peak, in Vermont. That can’t be too far away?

Yes, in 2017, but it was a very short visit, sadly. We hope to return when travelling opens up again. We are actually planning to move permanently by mid next year to Edinburgh.
