I've done a lot of walking this winter, alone, with Nicola or with Rick and am getting a bit bored with "the same old walks". So when there's a different walk I am up for it.
 |
A couple of weeks ago Rick and I were heading towards Backus Woods (again) when I remembered there was a parking lot beside the Forestry Farm on Hwy 24.
|
 |
We walked beside a pond that probably is used for irrigating the trees and we were into some woodlands with sandy trails and lots of signs of spring.
|
 |
Absolutely beautiful, but I don't have Nicola's flower identifying app on my phone. Back on the computer and I think it is Round Lobed Hepatica
|
 |
This ground cover looks like Christmas.
|
 |
| Violets |
 |
The spring blooms weren't just on the ground
|
 |
the trees and shrubs were getting in on the act too.
|
 |
And a left over from last fall - Milkweed seed.
|
The trails weren't very well marked and a bit confusing so we didn't walk for long. It was also a weekend so there were ATVs and dirt bikes out on the trails too. A better walk for a weekday.
Ending with birds and baby:
 |
Cedar Waxwings in the Apple tree next door.
|
 |
One was feeding the other a Forsythia petal.

One of our, twice a day, video visits.
