Spring Picnic

It was so sunny today but the outside temperature was brutal and the wind was blowing!  Around noon we decided it was just too sunny to stay inside so we bundled up, packed a lunch and headed to Darby Creek. Andrew needed to check a stand of trees he had planted and I wanted to do some photography.  Signs of spring were everywhere and of particular interest were the snow trillium and the hepatica flowers.  We got in a pretty good hike too and once we got moving the cold wasn't as bothersome. We ate on creekside (the water was ice cold) and then made our way home. Hope you enjoy the photos we took along the way...

Reminds me of winter picnics at Houston Woods. Looks like you had fun.
