Spring Again, A View from My Back Yard

The inch or so of snow on the ground this morning melted off in by mid-afternoon. Spring has returned, even though it is still cool. We may have a frost tonight.

These pictures were taken in my back yard looking north over the Spokane River Valley.
The mountains you see in the first photo are the far out to the west foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

The abutment in the foreground is a remnant of the north side of the High Bridge -- the railroad bridge over the Spokane River connecting many of the east to west railroad tracks to tracks south of the river. High Bridge, a steel bridge, was cut down about 1978 - 79. Only the concrete footings and abutments remain
