Flowers are springing up.
My Grand daughter and I hiked the Kickapoo Valley Reserve. We enjoyed finding Blood Root, Hepatica, and Pinks along the Wintergreen Trail.
When we walked past the Reserve Center we encountered a bat. We watched as it climbed a tree. I really wished I'd had a great long lens, however this was the best I could do with not really wanting to get too close to the little brown thing!
The Wintergreen Trail really did not disappoint us at all. We found the outlook on a bluff over the Kickapoo River and decided to stop there and have our packed lunch.
The trail behind us looked like a mystic movie set.
I could imagine Elves and Hobbits peering at us from behind the Hemlock trees.
There is a surprise if you follow the trail all the way out nearly to the end.
An Ice Cave.
We spent a good part of the day doing some portrait shots. Ariel was a fantastic model and very patient.
The boys finally came home from their fishing excursion with a nice 'mess' of fish.
Our weekend ended last night with a nice pink and purple sky.
Spring has arrived...time to get to working on the fencing!
The kids are really growing! Love Ariel's hair, and she looks like you!
