The Pond at Nature Realm. Yes, it was Green!
After a gloomy Saturday and a night that featured about four inches of heavy, wet snow, Sunday brought blue skies and sunshine. We took advantage of the gorgeous day and made a little trip to Summit MetroParks’ Nature Realm. The park’s paved pathway allowed for a nice photo walk without a slog through snow-covered mud. Bird calls filled the air as we took in the sights. Not a lot of photos to show for our casual trip but it was great getting out in the mild, fresh air, and feeling the sun shine on our faces. It has been a long, hard winter that seems not to want to end, and we’re looking forward to spring. Real spring.

We had heavy rain and some snow today. I’m starting to wonder if this winter will ever die….
Yes, it seems like that around here, too. A coworker just returned from a family vacation trip to D.C. and reported the awful weather you mention. They drove all that way only to experience the same weather conditions we had here! {sigh}
I especially like the flowing look of the first photo. Great lines!
Thanks! Many people miss that aspect of composition when looking at pictures. I was happy to have been able to capture the scene and glad you liked it. — JG
