Spring

What is it about spring that is so wonderful? Autumn has the sense of quietly slowing down and winter the sense of waiting, but spring is the feeling of waking up. The changing of seasons is always subtle. Yesterday as I was hiking back from the boys band, I could hear the birds singing and the first sounds of the wind through the young leaves. There was also the smell of new green life which is invigorating to the senses. Spring is a great season for uplifting the soul.

Today while I was in Squaw Creek, I saw a little seep I had never noticed before. It came down from a hidden valley dripping through moss and maiden hair ferns to land in a pool surrounded by columbines.
