Winter's End
March 2001
As the end of winter approaches, hints of a new season are in the air. Photographers may still capture coats of ice clinging to branches on the few cold days that remain, but we know that soon it will all be gone. When the snow begins to melt, streams will move more swiftly and falls will grow from a trickle to a splashing flow. And as the season begins to change, the sun will bring greater warmth. The temperature will rise. In the evening when we see the sun set, we will be heartened by the promise of the birds and buds that will soon be appearing.
The surest sign that the new season is arriving is the blossoming of the crocuses. When we see their petals brightening the colors of the landscape we know that spring cannot be far behind.
Our photographers for this issue have caught these many signs in their camera lens to produce our portfolio for the last days of winter.
