Trillium, two varieties grow wild near the house.
From the yard, I could hear the stream that feeds into the pond. It was loud and definitely racing. I decided to see if I could get through the winter blow down, cross the bridge, and make my way around the pond. It wasn’t too bad when three or so feet of snow covered the ground, elevating my path above the fallen trees. Now, it is a different world.
Can you see the bridge through the trees? It is a huge old ruogh sawn plank spanning the stream. Before I come to it, I have to pass by the spot where the otter have their winter home. So for those of you who asked to see the otter scat last winter, I’ll show you. Now that the spring rains have washed the green slimey parts away, what remains are the fish scales. (I can’t believe I’m posting this, you asked and you know who you are. the rest of you can scroll past quickly if it bothers you.)
Further on, this little guy was busy going in and out of his hole in the ground.
Who was this? What happened? These feathers are on a log nearly four feet off the ground.
At the furthest point around, the trees have fallen into what I always considered the cove. Every year is different.

I love Trillium! Thank you for those photos.
The busy times of nature is just a wonder..what gorgeous pics of it! Wow…you’ve hit 90’s!? and the sheep in covers are very cute!
=sigh= So beautiful!
Seems like the bird who’s feathers you found won’t be able to tell what happened anymore 🙁
You must feel like there’s always something new to explore, sounds exiting !
What a beautiful place you have to walk! Do you follow an established trail or make your own?
Lovely – and thanks for the otter leavings. 🙂
Owl snack?
Thanks for sharing the trillium photos. It’s always a pleasure to find them in the wood.
