Spring!

April 12, 2018 By dave

It is spring! (Finally!!!) Time to hit the ACLT trails to enjoy the spring flowers. Last Sunday was a beautiful day – crisp and sunny.  The trails were awash with a scintillating display of early spring wildflowers – especially the Horse Swamp trail.

Nothing out of the ordinary but how invigorating to be out in a restful setting with the freshness of a new year. The liriodendrons were turning green, the maple trees with their red buds were clearly discernable, and the frogs were singing. Beautiful.
