The retreat of the snows

March gives way to April, and the snows are gradually abraded away.

That's last fall's grass peeping forth, dotted with some leftover leaves.

April usually holds some snowfall, so this field will probably be covered once more.  But today I'm enjoying the hints of spring the vista reveals.
