FOWC/RDP — Spring has not yet Sprung

Spring Back

to the River

I’m combining Fandango’s One Word Challenge with the Ragtag Daily Prompt Challenge joining FOWC’s Spring with RDP’s River for this post.

We are very much still in winter even though we haven’t had anymore snow as of yet. We have had many freezing temperatures in the evenings and early mornings. The past couple of days warmed up, however, chilly days and rainy days are still in the foreseeable forecast.

Since Spring has not yet sprung this year I decided to look back upon a delightfully sunny Spring day in 2022 (spring ended on June 21st in 2022). On this spectacular Spring day, Coleman and I hiked along the Catawba River in Rock Hill, South Carolina. We hiked along the Founders Trail which runs parallel to the Catawba River. And before you ask, Coleman did enjoy some refreshing playtime in the River.

Look closely to
see people tubing
down the River.
