Spring Walk

"Springtime is the land awakening. The March winds are the morning yawn."
  ~~Lewis Grizzard in Kathy Sue Loudermilk, I Love You
Another walk on another rainy spring day.
It feels early, but nobody is complaining.
I love the soft edges of the trees as the emerging buds take shape...

​"You will not be the same after the storms of life; you will be stronger, wiser and more alive than ever before!"
  ~~Bryant McGill
With the day an hour shorter, we committed ourselves to spend some time outside, even with the rain.
The lake is the nicest when the water is free from the wake of boats...

Shelf Fungus

Shelf fungus, also called bracket fungus,  basidiomycete that forms shelflike sporophores (spore-producing organs). Shelf fungi are commonly found growing on trees or fallen logs in damp woodlands. They can severely damage cut lumber and stands of timber. Specimens 40 cm (16 inches) or more in diameter are not uncommon. A specimen of Fomitiporia ellipsoidea discovered in 2010 on Hainan Island in southern China had a fruiting body that measured 10.8 metres (35.4 feet) in length and 82–88 cm (2.7–2.9 feet) in width and weighed an estimated 400–500 kg (882–1,102 pounds). It was found growing on the underside of a tree, and at the time it was the largest fruiting body ever recorded for a fungus.

The melting snow added another layer of texture to this old tree that had fallen many years before.
We were both happy to be outside walking again after the Blizzard of 2016 had passed through...

Blackbird

"Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arise
you were only waiting for this moment to arise
you were only waiting for this moment to arise"
  ~~Songwriters: John Lennon/Paul McCartney
As we walked along the trail, the caw of a blackbird pulled our attention from our conversation to theirs.

“There is nothing in the world more beautiful than the forest clothed to its very hollows in snow. It is the still ecstasy of nature, wherein every spray, every blade of grass, every spire of reed, every intricacy of twig, is clad with radiance.”
  ~~William Sharp
I arrived on the trail to walk just as the lanterns were lit and the sun was setting.
Welcome to the annual Dacey Trail Luminary Walk.

Road Ends in Water

​"You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water."
  ~~Rabindranath Tagore
Even with blue skies and warm temperatures that brought respite from the rain,
Lake Shelbyville crested today.
The beaches, trees, picnic tables docks, cabanas, and pavilions are underwater. 
We had to find new paths and routes for our walk today as the water creeps up to cover our routine trek.
Even as I post, the clouds have rolled in and our beautiful blue skies are once again gray.
​At least we're not shoveling...
