The trail has
changed dramatically since the posting of my previous pictures. The frozen,
snowy ground has been replaced with lush, green grass. Flowers have filled the
bare tree branches. Some trees have already shed their flowers and have begun
sprouting bright green leaves. Wildflowers can be seen sprouting out of the
earth. More animals have made an appearance as well. I encountered deer,
squirrels, rabbits, and even a fox. Various species of birds, such as
cardinals, robins, blue jays, swallows, and chickadees, can be seen perching on
trees and soaring through the air. I even spotted a monarch butterfly nectaring
on a flower. The stream that runs through the middle of the trail sparkles from
the sunlight above and is sheltered with shade from the oak trees above. On one
specific day when the rain was pouring, the stream was overflowed with water,
forcefully rushing down its path, resembling a river. There have also been many
more people on the trail since spring has made an appearance. Walking dogs, riding
bikes, or jogging, people of all ages come to the trail to enjoy the beautiful
weather.
