Today’s photos are flashbacks from this time frame one year ago (otter, above) and two years ago (icebergs, below). The Joy: that’s more recent, taken just after the previous snowfall. “Early spring” in Leland!    

Vol XVI # 004 – A April Snow Day

Keith Burnham    April 2, 2016    1 Comment on Vol XVI # 004 – A April Snow Day

No surprises this morning when the snow began to fall except for the amount.  The forecast said 1 inch accumulation and we got 3.  Actually it was a lot of fun to see half dollar sized snowflakes falling at times.  Tomorrow is good for 3 more.  Tuesday back up into the 40’s, so much for April snow.

A very tough day to go out and take a picture, the thought being, take a picture of what?  A drizzly morning with limited visibility.  Besides, it was really chilly, especially with a north wind.  This is not a new situation because for the past 15 years I’ve had a lot days just like today.   So what do I do?…  I go and… Read more »

It never entered my mind that morning, March 30th, 2001 that I would be posting the 5,477th Leland Report 15 years later.  It wasn’t in the plan because there was no plan, some things just happen.  Today the LR begins it’s 16th year as I work on my 84th.  I don’t think about when this ends as it is part of my daily… Read more »

We are having a nice day to wind up our 15th Leland Report year.  It would be nicer if it was a little warmer, but that will come. I discovered that this past April the Leland Reports # was wrong and some how ended up today with 367 days when it should be 366 (Leap Year added)    

Vol XV # 366 – Meggen’s Monday

Meggen Watt Petersen    March 28, 2016    6 Comments on Vol XV # 366 – Meggen’s Monday

Even when it’s gray and rainy, this area offers up beautiful views. When the sky is almost the same color as the water (in fog or in bright sun), we call it an “infinity day” – it’s hard to discern where one ends and the other begins. The past couple of days have been bright and sunny: great for trudging… Read more »

Vol XV # 365 – Easter Sunday

Jim Burnham    March 27, 2016    6 Comments on Vol XV # 365 – Easter Sunday

   (Report by Jim)  Easter Sunday is cold and cloudy, but at least it isn’t raining. On the way back from St. Wenceslaus this morning, I saw this group of seagulls chillin’ on the roof of a nearby barn. There is always something to see here.

Vol XV # 364 – A Great Saturday

Jim Burnham    March 26, 2016    5 Comments on Vol XV # 364 – A Great Saturday

   (Report by Jim) It was a beautiful 60 sunny degrees today so we went out rock hunting with a few others out on South Beach. What was a significant snowfall has turned into not so much with all the warm weather. The deputy that wrote up my deer collision was the same one that has given me my last three… Read more »
