"The 5th Season" 10 x 8 in.
Jim Wilcox, the great Teton Landscape painter, once said that he thought there were actually 5 season rather then the traditional 4 (summer, fall, winter, spring). He thought that the 5th season was towards the end of winter when the brutal cold had worn off but the spring weather hadn't melted everything and the rivers hadn't exploded with spring runoff.
Today, was actually one of those days. The weather was unseasonable warm and yet there was still plenty of snow around. The river was clear (although I could tell it was already taking on more water then usual) and the wind was calm. It really is one of the most beautiful times of the year.
The only problem is the 5th season only last a few weeks and then springs is in full session.
