A Nature Walk

 Come with me on a nature walk at the Fleisher preserve (Watertown, CT). It's cool in the shaded forest, and the ground is still muddy in many places. You can hear a pileated woodpecker hammering away in the distance; closer are calls of robins and warblers and the burbling brook. 

Look up!

and listen.....

look down...

and all around.

Jack-in-the-pulpit,

 Canada mayflower,

 

and ferns, uncurling into spring.
