The woods are really waking up. It’s been a dryish spring so far but that hasn’t stopped the blossoms from popping. Every season has its particular bounty and every year is different than the last in many ways. This year the mayapple and bear corn are coming in really strong. On this particular hike I made a few observations of plants that I’ve never seen before like toadshade and twin-leaf. The years and seasons have their changes but it is also amazing the change that can occur in a week or just a day. Nature moves quickly when it wants to.
