Trailside Beauty

Lake Wedington about a month ago before the color and leaves popped.

nature’s restorative balm

feeds body and soul

Recently I went on another local hike filled with spring delights. I revel in the beauty of nature all year, but especially in spring as life unfurls her charms. My body receives fresh air and exercise while my soul is nourished. Now more than ever with the covid mess dragging out, I find solace in nature and quiet time. Last week I hiked around Lake Wedington, about 10 miles west of town. These are just a few of the many charms I discovered on my hike around the lake.

One of the moss and fungi I love so much.

The lake’s spillway with a hint of spring to come.

At first I thought this was an egg, but it’s a seed pod.

May your heart be full of beauty.

  23. Such peace I felt Brad while reading your words, while I looked through your lens as you hiked around the lake.
    Argh…. Spring holds such promise after her winter slumber.
    May we all take a leaf from her and rise up to face our challenges as we push through this dark winter period of our human lives.
    Many thanks and much love 🧡💚🧡
