a palette of flowers…on a soggy spring afternoon…
with purple trillium…and…
little blue and chartreuse colored spring wildflowers along the rail trail…
….a vibrant carpet of fresh scent, fresh color, and fresh experiences...
it wasn’t sunny…but this snake found a spot by the creek bank to soak up the fragrant air of a cloudy spring day.
…a snake’s view of the creek and scenery below…
and on another part of the trail, a smaller slithering creature surprised me…
before a spattering of rain dampened my boots and sent other creatures home to their beds…
or under some leaves….
