And it, too, was from a walk in the woods in a swampy area.

We went out to the wildlife refuge this weekend. Didn't see much wildlife. Next day I went to play golf. Second hole, I saw a squirrel. <br /><br />Also, I'm having to get up earlier for work these days. Ye olde waning gibbous was beautiful this morning.Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096591352278195759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-31394769089513722352011-03-21T21:48:17.281-04:002011-03-21T21:48:17.281-04:00Dawn, maybe, but I'll play like I will win!

Those plants are quite unique.<br /><br />Vince, it's neat to see a balloon fire up the gas when the light is low.<br /><br />Callista, You'll get NZ winter when we're in summer or will you be back then?<br /><br />Brian, enjoy the trails!<br /><br />Hillary, what greenry? That under the snow, there wasn't much of it. There is a strand of white pines that this trail runs through, however.<br /><br />Karen, thanks for coming along on the walk.<br /><br />Kenju, I'll look forward to seeing the dogwoods and azeleas.<br /><br />Ed, mouthwatering! but I haven't become the pro you are at Morel hunting.<br /><br />Charles, it took a lot of worms to wear down that path... next time, can I hire you as my proof reader? :)<br /><br />John, Thanks,<br /><br />Sleepy Head, it's back behind the high school practice field--let me know when and I'll take you back there--the city owns the pond and some acreage as an undeveloped park and then a family I know owns about 600 acres behind that's being perserved. I often cross country ski it.<br /><br />Michael, you're probably getting our summer temps about now, are you?<br /><br />Lynn, thanks.sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-85069730080044178052011-03-21T18:22:55.956-04:002011-03-21T18:22:55.956-04:00Beautiful place - what a nice walk.Beautiful place - what a nice walk.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984802196897920610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-53558246335750628172011-03-21T13:54:30.395-04:002011-03-21T13:54:30.395-04:00New life with the approaching spring!

Where the snow lasts 'til now. What I saw this evening just at dusk was a balloon where you could see them firing the gasjets.
