First Day of Spring (Technically)

This Friday was the first day of spring, but you can't really tell up here in Erie. I woke up and spent hours packing (I'm switching rooms with my roommates) and when I couldn't take it anymore, decided that I would take a nice spring bike ride at the near by state park, Presque Isle. Trying to decide what exactly to wear, I checked the weather and saw that it was a wonderful 30 degrees.

I couldn't really complain though, spring comes slow to Erie and 30 and sunny skies actually isn't that bad. So I packed up my camera, binos, and tripod in my backpack, threw my bike on my rack, and headed to the peninsula.

It was chilly, but it was awesome. Here are some pics I took.

Spring is here, if you look.

To get this pic I did my first tree climbing
of the season.

Calm day on the Bay

Rubble and Erie

I think this pic captures Erie pretty well:
Bicentennial Tower and Canada Geese

I also got really nerdily excited because I saw a pair of Wigeons. I love the migration.
