Happy Mother's Day

Saw this little centipede crossing our paths.  The leaves are almost out completely due to the warmth of the last few days.  Great day to be walking, no flying insects yet.

A photo of the falls in spring.

A bit wintery this afternoon.  The snow from yesterday had melted but the air was cold.  Found a veritable forest of may apples on the forest floor.

Maybe other have seen this before but it was a new one on me. This is a wild strawberry plant blooming in April. Not at the end of April but we are just one day past the center of the month. The cultivated strawberries will be early, too, at this rate.

It was a trout lily kind of day. I don't think I have ever seen so many at Guppy Farm.

The trillium seem to be on hold right now..a little warm weather and they will pop.

Lots of water in the pond off of Gully Road as evidenced by the picture of the boardwalk. On the other end of the pond we saw what we thought is marks of beaver chewing on the wood. Could this be the reason for the higher water?
