Leap into Spring: Rain/Water

This week's Leap into Spring theme is Rain/Water. 

We went to Moraine recently.  The boys played on the play ground while Keira posed for me in front of the lake. 

And we saw a bunch of geese.  This one was off by itself.

It was too cold to even think about getting in the water.  :)

The same day we stopped at Moraine, we had gone to a local animal park.  There were a few animals in the water there like this Mandarin duck ...

(I just noticed the little drop of water falling from his beak.  Cool!)  :)

and this flamingo.

Then last week while Alex and I were taking our usual stroll on the bike trail, we came across this Mallard duck in a marsh beside the trail.

And a tiny waterfall a little further down the trail.

Finally, a couple weeks ago we had a pretty good frost.  The killing kind according to the weather people.  We've been having frosty nights so often this spring that I gave up covering my flowers ... and they are doing fine.  They must be used to it by now.  :)  Anyway, I didn't get out soon enough in the morning to photograph the frost, but I did manage to get my lone tulip with some water still on it.
