The weather may still be slightly erratic, but it’s definitely on the upswing. Warmer days, ephemeral flowers, rain, and eggs — Spring is here!
Skies are blue… 
The toothwort is coming up all around…
Mysterious shadows dance through the forest…
Snakes awaken from longer winters and bask in the sun…
Coltsfoot pop up in damp areas…
Daffodils lift their sunny heads in neighborhood yards…
Baby mullein rosettes appear…
May apples begin to poke their heads through the leaf litter… 
Trout lillies enjoy their short time soaking up sun…
Forest creatures become more active after a long winter spent in “Old Man Tree”….
Beavers are busy making adjustments on the homestead… 
A little one participates in her first egg dye….
The ramps arrive…!
Spring peepers sing a chorus in the background…
Hyacinths sweetly scent the air…
And the crocusts give it their all for the few days they are in bloom…
What a beautiful time of year for exploring!
