Forest Paths to Spring

 Views of Spring

Spring is still sparse overlooking the river,
but it is coming quickly.

Nature straining to slough off the shackles of winter has ended. These first steps might be tentative, but they are bold. Winter has been defeated.

Trees beginning to leaf indicate a spring path.

The first leaflets hanging on these awakening trees invite the hiker to read the signs of the season. Color is coming back to the landscape.

New spring growth beside a path.

New growth invigorates the air with fresh oxygen and energizes the hiker with the new purposes of the season. All the little green lives are awakening.

The forest is filling up with flowers.

Spring gives fresh flowers to branches that were bare just a few days ago. The flowers promise fruit when summer ripens in the months to come.
