The inset photos are a great way of sharing closeups of your beautiful park in May. I'm glad spring has reached you at long last!
ReplyDeleteYes, the weather is pleasant. Thanks! I think it's fascinating to see an area transform through the seasons.
DeleteWhat a difference a season makes! Ditto what Kris posted.
ReplyDeleteYes, the changes through the seasons are fascinating!
DeleteWhat a difference a few months make.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. I'm not a great fan of the coldest days of winter, but I do enjoy the change of seasons. :)
DeleteThe word "fen" had weiredly dropped out of my vocabulary for some reason until it suddenly came into a conversation this weekend and now, here it is beautifully represented.
ReplyDeleteI was reading about this particular spot in the state park information, and it's identified as a fen, which makes sense based on the proximity to the lake and the meadow area. It's a very special spot, with unique plants and a view across to a marshy area and then the lake in the distance.
DeleteI have never heard of the word "fen" and had to look it up. I don't think we have those here. Nothing is "boggy" but we do have plenty of "mud and mire." Been "mired" up on the back of a tractor many times as a child. Never been "fenned up" though. Hmmm.

Beautiful Spring.. May is one of my favorite months.
ReplyDeleteYes, May is special, indeed. I absolutely love this part of the world from May through October. :)
DeleteNow that's progress! and I too like your insets ... neat idea.
ReplyDeleteIt does change quite a bit, doesn't it? Thanks. :)
DeleteSo much enjoy the contrast from the same viewpoint.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's fascinating to compare in the different seasons. :)
DeleteSo beautiful....just finding wild strawberries at the edge of the woods here....I need to plant zizia. I adore them.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Wild strawberries are fabulous--lucky you, too! I love Zizia aurea. I don't have enough sun for it here, but it's fun to see it during hikes and visits to sunny natural areas.
DeleteBoth views of the fen are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!
