I went hunting for green on the trails this morning and found plenty of these along Spicebush Trail as the understory springs to life. I stopped and admired this one long enough to enjoy a small flock of Canada Geese honking overhead while a Red-winged Blackbird trilled loudly from a hidden perch. My boots sank deeper and deeper into the mud, and I didn't care one bit. As Spicebush Trail, Beech Tree Trail, and Old Oak Trail enjoy their first spring, I enjoy discovering what's what alongside them!
I praise you, Lord, for this morning's walk on the trails — drizzle, mud, and all.
sounds like a restorative walk and good to know that all over the world are corners that are full of the joys of spring. I love the simplicity of this shot which is a message of the promise of new beginnings.
