Spring has sprung and with it the snow melts away in the warm sun. The days grow longer and the temperature will gradually increase as mother nature readies many species for baby season. Plant life will flourish and wildflowers will bloom in waves.
Unease lurks on the horizon and everyone can feel it. The season of fresh starts and new beginnings is paired with a dark, looming shadow. An unexpected earthquake seems to only be the beginning of this unexpected event.
Prints of wildlife are apparent here, where although the atmosphere seems quiet and still, life happens to find its way through this vast, snowy landscape. Sparsely-placed trees linger near various small ponds, where although cover seems rare, it remains a habitable place for an abundance of tundra flora and fauna alike.
