Life walk

I'm seeing all my family and friends back home right now enjoying the beautiful Skagit Valley Tulip Festival (Is this beautiful or what!)  And I find myself a bit desperate for spring.  This is our road now:

  So today we went on a life walk, looking for signs that old winter didn't kill off every form of life! 


1) chickens!

2) silly dog puddle splashing

3)faint green fuzz on the hill

4) buds on branches

5)fresh moose prints

6. grass shoots

7. fireweed sprouts
