Getting used to this “social distancing” thing but not the “stay at home” part. A walk in the park seemed like a good way to mix the two – get a little exercise without running into too many people.

It’s close to March 21st and the beginning of spring. Actually this blog post started to take form after I parked my car and wandered aimlessly a few yards. I was standing on a path in a ravine wondering which way to go… but why was I here? I heard a bird, and then I heard another.

below: It’s not a bird nor is it a sign of spring, but it sat still enough to let me get my camera focused through the branches.
below: The red dogwood branches have started to become more vibrant.
below: Pussy willows have opened up their fuzzy white buds. A definite indicator of spring.
below: There weren’t many tree buds but this tree (and others of its type) were an exception.
below: There was a train too! A different kind of sign of life.
Spring, and a walk in the park. Sometimes it’s just the little things…. including someone to share your space.
