Spring is the beginning of wildflower hunting season.  To all my fellow wanderers (and those longing to wander) breath in the new green and enjoy Nature’s spectacular pallet of tiny blossoms.

Love to ALL!

Mid summer the leaves are lush and birds are often hidden from view and butterflies are scarce.  It is a joy to spot a variety of winged beauties on our hike.  A Little Yellow (Sulphur Butterfly) is perch on a twig at the trail edge.  High above us a Mourning Dove sit on a bare branch and a molting red Summer Tanager sings a trilling tune.  Near the end of our hike we catch sight of a Blue Grosbeak catching a green caterpillar for breakfast.

Have a lovely day and get out and play!

I relinquish the burden of the past to step lightly toward my future. ~ Lee Hiller

May showers arrive as waves of thunderstorms barreling out of Texas and Kansas into Arkansas.  After each passing storm the ground cover thickens and new Wildflowers appear as others multiple across the Forest floor.  A lovely Mourning Dove walks us down the trail as a Male Cardinal and Red-Eyed Vireo serenade. Each colorful Wildflower becomes a tile in an always changing Spring Mosaic.

Another line of thunderstorms are heading our way and I wonder what new life the rain will bring forth. Nature patiently teaches us the beauty of change.  Nothing can stay the same, nor would we want and unchanging landscape to greet us each day.  Her subtle shifts between each season soften our Hearts to the unpredictability of life.

If you could view these sights on a walk to the post office wouldn’t you think up reasons to go buy a stamp? I journeyed through Hot Springs Historic District then along Bath House Row on my way to the Post Office and on the Promenade in Hot Springs National Park returning home.

Sweet juvenile Birds and beautiful Wildflowers all wrapped in an ever growing cocoon of green. Who could ask for a better spring hike?  After last years drought and brutal Christmas Day storm it is wonderful to witness the rebirth of the Forest.  It is time to step outside and breath with Nature…

Love to ALL!
