The greens of spring: moss and wild leeks.

Two steps forwards and one step back. Spring can be so unpredictable.

The first flowers of the spring are surrounded by lots of mud! If you go walking beware of the mud although it should not deter you!

Yes, the red wing blackbirds and robins are back. The migrating geese have taken up residence in various bodies of water whether in farm fields or run off from snow melt. But the truest sign of spring is the skunk cabbage ! Happy St. Pats!

This must be the Dalmatian time of year with the snow spotting the hillsides and forest floors.

Textures in the woods can be heightened by the snow.

The water was really rushing down the Guppy stream today. Lots of places of standing and moving water under the snow.

The wind had picked up this afternoon which meant walking in the woods was very creaky. The sound of the trees moving is spooky.
