Going-out of the insects. That time of year when the first bugs surface from their hibernation. Caterpillars start their transformation to butterflies. 🦋

Rain Waters

Rain waters. Snow melts away, mist lingers in the air, and grasses begin to sprout. Trees release their first buds as the ground fills with water. 🌧

Start of spring. Fish appear in icy ponds and the bush warblers start singing in the mountains. 🐟

The Chill Deepens

Big cold. Temperatures drop low and the chill deepens. Ice thickens on the streams. Hens huddle together and begin laying eggs. 🐔

Little Cold

Little cold. Winter chills start as the temperature quickly drops. Pheasant calls can be heard in the forest 🌡

Big Snow

Big snow. The cold sets in. Bears are hibernating in their dens, and the salmon have swam upstream. Nature is quiet. 💤

Little Snow

Little snow. Light snowfall appears. Northern winds have blown the last leaves from the trees. 🌨
