Took a take-away sandwich to the park on Friday. Some of the trees were beginning to green-up across the river. I love this feathery looks that we get early in the season. ↓↓
Here is another glimpse across the river: humans and beast enjoying the warmth. ↓↓
After a time at the park, we dropped into a nursery that we were passing by. The whole roof (this is just a section) was covered with planters waiting for a good home. ↓↓
It's a little too early to adopt them yet, however. There may very well be frost this month. Probably not, but maybe.
The next day, Saturday, was also fantastic, so we headed off to see if we could find the Baird Trail off in the nether regions of the county. We did find it and had a picnic lunch where this ↓↓ was our view. After complaining ad infinitum of our brutally long and cold winter, would it be churlish of me to say that I was too hot in that sunny spot? lol

After Baird Trail and a fruitless attempt to see the quarry, we headed to Balderson to look around and get an ice cream cone. My bear claw was delish. But this ↓↓ picture is of an old-fashioned scale that I had never noticed before.

Lovely time of year, is it now?
The feathery leaves are always fun to see, and they are usually a bit of a lime green instead of the dark green we see later on. Your pictures are beautiful, especially the one with the tall trees and that amazing blue sky.
Good to see you out enjoying the weather.
Always nice to see new green. :-)

Yup here to and the temps are summer like as well ! Lovely photos . Looks like our neck of the woods here in our valley ! Thanks for sharing , have a good day !
That pale green fuzz appearing on the bare branches of winter is a wonderful sight. All it takes is a day or two of sunshine, a couple of April showers and tra-la! It's SPRING! Love it!
Ooohh, that trout lily is pretty! It's already hot as blazes here, which is why I never complain about cold weather. I hate hot weather!
It truly is spring now that it's May. ;))
Your pictures have really captured the beauty.
