Groundhog Day-Revisited

Today is Groundhog day in the United States. 
 If the groundhog sees its shadow today then we will have six more weeks of Winter.  If there is no shadow, then Spring will come early.  
So, an overcast day means an early spring; a sunny day means a long (normal) winter.  
For me, though Groundhog Day is special; 
Groundhog Day is romantic. I wrote about it last year. GROUNDHOG DAY.
If you are wondering about future weather, go find a groundhog burrow and wait . . .
. . . but if it is your life that makes you wonder, look closely at the people around you, both in your home and in your heart.

I see my shadow but fear a major winter storm or two in the next few weeks.One year i watched a burrow in the fall and noticed a Great horned owl doing the same for a few days.

Here on the Front Range of the Rockies, it looks like Spring should be on its way. If only one could believe this sign... ;-)

Your photos are very special, so beautiful. I love your post for this 'fun' special day. For some reason I have problems posting so anonoymous seems to work best for me. from Ann at nature Tales http:naturetales.blogspot.com

So I hear it's six more weeks of winter. I am amazed that you have so many shots of groundhogs, especially the one with him/her trotting towards the camera.
