Today’s sunny disposition offered sufficient reason to take a walk along the Community Connector Trail in the Towns of Halfmoon and Clifton Park. I walked the eastern half of the trail, beginning from the base of the Twin Bridges of the Northway.
I found my first bloom of the year!
I also found a few blooms of Red Maple, but none were close enough to take a good photo. This is the best I could muster (apologies to all) –
Other sure signs of spring included hearing a few Spring Peepers, a couple of Wood Frogs and a Belted Kingfisher. And, I also saw an Osprey and a pair of Wood Ducks.
If you need any assurance that spring has arrived, you owe it to yourself to escape outdoors for a walk this week whenever you find the opportunity to do so. The signs are there – just be sure to stop, look and listen. Enjoy!
Happy Easter to all!
Happy trails!
