emerging tundra

The tundra is slowly emerging from its winter duvet of snow.... and colour and life are bursting forth. I must have 2 or 3 dozen pictures of siksik and ptarmigan alone.. not to mention planes and skies and other odds and ends.... The weather was amazing... warm enough for a light shirt rolled up to my elbows... and sunny enough to have mildly burned my cheeks and the tops of my arms... sigh.. I guess I should be glad it doesn't hurt...
