A Meeting of the Seasons

After near record winter snowfall and cold weather extending through March and much of April, spring has been very slow coming to the southern Yukon. Actually, it can be argued that we skipped spring altogether because a week ago it abruptly turned quite summery and temperatures have been hitting 20 degrees Celsius with intense sunshine burning down from mostly cloudless skies. I was warm in a T-shirt when I photographed this well preserved autumn aspen leaf, newly emerged from the rapidly melting snow. At this moment, all four seasons seemed to merge into one.
