end of winter walks

After stormy winter weekends

wild with snow, wind, sleet, rain,

it has been wonderful

to walk along wooded paths

and wander down to the water's edge

and feel the sun warm my face.

 April is on its way.

 

 

almost spring

In the spring a young turkey's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love...

and now for something completely random - 53 project week 19

Last weekend I was on the road, meeting up with my brother in New Jersey and then heading north to western Connecticut to visit the old family homestead in Washington. I stopped along the way and hiked near Bear Mountain, and the sky was blue and everything was lush with spring goodness.   Here are some completely random views from on the road. 

53 project week 18 - reach for the sky

This time of year it's hard to know where to look -- everything's bursting forth and reaching for the sky.  From the lowliest weed to the tippytopmost tree -- they're all seeking the spring sun and flourishing after the spring showers.  It's May!
