Prairie Crocus
It's incredible how quickly spring has sprung in the Yukon. Two weeks ago we were still covered in snow - today, the snow has melted leaving behind the brown and dried remains of last years plant growth. Sprouting through this 'mess', the first of the praise crocuses have emerged and started to bloom.
Every day brings with it a new cast of characters. Three weeks ago it was the return of the swans. Their arrival was followed soon after by the emergence of the arctic ground squirrels and today, the crocuses are in bloom. As for tomorrow, perhaps I'll spot my first grizzly of the year :)
