Today was chilly but clear and sunny so I decided to repeat my walk looking for the crocuses in bloom with my camera. The sun and the fact that everything was now pretty dry definitely changed the colors. No more deep mysterious greens and oranges, but the day was glorious none the less. Here the sun lit up the beautiful bark of this Peeling Birch tree.
Further along the Sycamore was a brilliant white against the pure blue of the sky.
I was wrong about the crocuses however they are still not in bloom. I guess they are simply too young to fold down their petals and welcome spring....and its a good thing as snow is forecast for tonight.
Further along I sat on this bench which is dedicated to Lenore Susan Spiegel. As I sat in the sun enjoying the peace of the park I silently thanked Ms Spiegel for the experience. A bench in the park is a fine memorial to a loved one, as it keeps on giving pleasure to others for years to come.
These walks have brought to my attention how much I have been missing nature and I intend to get out more regularly from now on regardless of the weather.
