Great story, thanks. And nicely illustrated. I love that idea of drowning winter to show "that's it, enough, we're fed up, lets move on to Spring!"

Thank you Marina. The two-coloured ones were my favourite to work on too :)

Brrrrr!! I love the tradition of killing winter this way, but I can't jump into cold water, even with hat and gloves! Walruses and cormorants... you have helped me envision this lively beach well! Thank you for a fascinating story!

Thank you for reading, Tina! Haha, me neither to be honest, but I must say that when the sun was out and everybody was going in all together I felt quite tempted! This urge would probably not arise if it was cloudy and windy though!

Wonderful paintings. I like to think about walruses and the shedding of winter. Spring has arrived. Take care, fellow Substacker Linda Berlin
