Still spring in the Arctic

While summer may be in full swing in some parts of the country, spring still reigns in the arctic. With only one week remaining until summer solstice, spring weather is still hanging on. Highs have been in the 60’s with morning temperatures hovering around 50. Quite pleasant and perfect weather for mosquitoes.
 
Spring is a time of new life and with one week left, nature is flourishing. Today I saw my first swallowtail butterfly and dragonfly. I also startled a pair of Canada geese with goslings on the road by the river. As I rounded a corner, the adults flew off as the goslings ran into the brush along the road. From my brief glimpse, the goslings were still small, yellow fluff-balls.
