A walk in the woods (II)

Here are a few more shots from my walk in the woods last week.

And what a difference a few days make in the weather - last week we enjoyed 80-84F (26-28C); today we were lucky to reach 52F (11C) under heavy skies and a howling wind.

Definition of a Canadian spring: the 15 minutes between winter and summer.

While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.”   Genesis 8:22

The universe is unfolding as it should

(Day 140) Meanwhile, back in the garden ...

We have this little shady spot just behind the house and beside the deck. It seems well-suited for ferns and moss to thrive, and it's also where my jack-in-the-pulpit does so well. Tonight I thought I'd give this bit of greenery a little focus. And no, we don't have an exotic fern that is also flowering - one of the small clumps of spring flowers has found its way over here and I thought it added a nice touch to the green.
