Good day to be out

My friend Eileen and I went to the EcoLab at Marian University yesterday morning.  It was in the low 70’s and I didn’t need to use the sweatband I had brought along.  The sweatband was an essential part of spending much time outside the last month or so.


The waterlilies are getting ready to bloom.


And there were plenty of other flowers.



There were plenty of birds but we could only hear them, they were in the woods.  But there was a muskrat.


And plenty of dragonflies.


I wanted this one to face the camera but he would have none of it.  Reminds me of when I was a kid.  Some of the waterlilies were looking the other way too.


Good day to be out.  We’ll hope for more.

This morning

It was a varied morning of shooting.


I’ve been following this trillium sessile for a few days and it is getting ready to pop.  It will be purple.  It is in the backyard.

Becky and I went to the Ecolab at Marion University later in the morning, a good place to go just about any time of the year but Spring seems to best suit it.


The bluebells are in bloom there.

The lily pads were dancing and who wouldn’t join them?


It was a good morning.


It was a spiritual morning, a morning to know we are connected to all life in this world.
