Nature Walk

Happy Easter, Eveyone! I should be working on a 10-page paper on mercury contamination for my water policy class (blech), but decided to take advantage of the nice weather ("nice" being a relative term--after a week of snow, 15 degree temps, and 25 mph NE winds--32 degrees and sunshine feels downright balmy). I went for a long hike through the woods behind our house to look for signs of spring. I found a couple:

Pussy willows beginning to bloom



Amity Creek beginning to open



Amity Creek ice melting



Ice Sculptures


I'm also a big fan of conks and tree fungi in general:
