I went for a wonderful hike today along the Bruce Trail with my sister. For someone who struggles with winter, it was a sheer delight to see the early spring woodland flowers begin to bloom. The beginning of life. The rebirth of the senses. As the day comes to an end, I feel serene, healthy and grateful.
I’ll let the flora and fauna do the rest of the talking. Yes, we did see three deer but I didn’t get their picture, but it blows my mind and I love it that they are still living and surviving out in the wild not far from me.

Thank you, the walk was a real sparkle on a body that was feeling similarly exhausted. I am feeling revived 🙂 and hope you are feeling a bit of the sparkle too! Peace, Harlon

This hike was powerful medicine. I agree with Michael – that giant blue cohosh photo is something special, beautiful and dramatic. I’d frame it and hang it on the wall, make prints and maybe enter it in a contest.

Thanks JoAnna, the giant blue cohosh definitely has the wow factor….and what I must say I always get such delight from, is when there is synchronicity in our posts…Mother Nature is indeed a living creature and she gets the photo credit 🙂 Hugs, Harlon

You’re a trail blazer, Harlon. Always knew it.
Great photos, too! The giant blue cohosh put me into sensory overload for a few seconds. Had to reboot and take it from the top… 🙂
Peace
Michael
