What a difference a week makes!

Here's last week's picture of a pond at Ft Abercrombie.

Despite nearly 50 degree days, half was still covered with ice,
(since much of it is in the tall Spruce Pine's shadows).

But look at it today,  the Sunday before Memorial Day:

The surviving lilly pods are turning green form their winter yellow,
and there is a nice layer of green algae along it's edges!

But, if you are a flower person instead,
you'll be happy to see that flowers are blossoming
at the other side of the park,
along the Flower Meadow Trail.

If you want a real fine flower show, take that walk on the July 4th weekend!
