Spring Walk

Spring's New Life. This past Victoria Day weekend, we set up our camp and enjoyed the new life around us. Spring reminds us that life triumphs everything. New grass, new buds, tracks in the warm mud, and secrets coming out of holes in the ground. It's a time to discover just how irrepressible the seeds of life are!

The flowers! There's a flood of colours and variety this year. Ottawa's Tulip Festival is a highlight of our nation's annual display of gratitude from a wartime friend-nation, the Netherlands. Though that dark war is long past, the springs that followed are the repeating "I told you so" reminder that every winter ends. Boys target dandelions instead of brothers.

Fresh Mud. While looking down to mind my way, I discovered impressions of past explorers. From animal, man, and automobile come marks that sign to us, "I've been here."











Fraggle Rock!
Like the magical hidden world where Fraggles live, there's glowing hints of subterranean kingdoms in culverts and holes. Spring brings the possibility of new discoveries.
