Yesterday, Bob and I went to a nearby park to have a picnic lunch and a little hike after church. We love this park and try to go walking there several times when the weather is nice. Yesterday was the first trip for this season. It was very cool and windy when we started, but soon the sun came out and the afternoon was nice. It was wonderful to see the leaves opening, and green popping up all over!
Popping open!
The woods look so pretty with the light green leaves opening.
There were little pops of moss all over.
Tall pine trees!
This huge beech tree is one of our favorite spots. You can't see the size of it in a picture, but it is truly majestic!
It overlooks a deep ravine with a creek running through it.
More moss - on a fallen tree this time.
This was once a huge tree. We've stopped by it for years, when it was still standing. I have a picture of Bob standing inside it from several years ago. It must have fallen sometime this winter.
This pretty little stream meanders all through the park.
The wild trillium were blooming!
Another tree falling down. Aren't the roots cool?
Another favorite - the ferns are starting to open!
These are tiny little pinecones!
Isn't God's creation beautiful?
