The bog finally warms up

On the left is a photo I took one month ago while I was on my daily walk. It's an image of a bog, a place that in warmer months makes frogs very happy. You should hear them!

The photo below is what the bog looks like today (a couple of days ago, actually).

Nice. It was 84 degrees today. I don't know what happened to the in-between weather -- you know, the time they refer to as "spring". But whatever happened, summer seems to be on the way. Woot!
