Spring Blooms

Got out on this rainy, dreary morning for a short 3 miler around Highland Green. It wasn't the nicest of mornings, but the upside of a rainy day is that everything else seems so bright and rich - the grasses, the flowers, the mosses. Enjoyed seeing a few patches of wood anemone along the trail's edge, their pinkish white blooms curled and bent against the cool weather. The trailing arbutus was out, its white flowers contrasting with its dark glossy leaves. Dark purple violets are appearing everywhere, as are larger number of bluets. Along the powerlines, the blueberry plants are producing flowers already - wow!

Looking forward to TARC tomorrow!
