springtime at last

We went out to Piper's Lagoon for a walk the other day. The fawn lilies are like a blanket over everthing. It is gorgeous. Even Eemer can appreciate it. I looked and looked for some Chocolate lilies to show you but couldn't find any yet this year.
But there is more than enough of these Fawn Lilies to fill every frame of the camera.


This park has a little bit of everything...some hills, some beach to search for beach glass, some nice grassy knolls, rabbits for the dogs to scent, eagles flying overhead, big trees, delicate flowers....


Eden-esque.



Remember last time we were here when the tides were so low we could walk right out to Shack Island? Well, Shack Island is an island again.



Emma actually stood still for a good photo! Unheard of, especially with Yuko there to egg her on.






And cherry blossoms on the trees around home, too. Well, time to go run some errands...talk to you later.

I'm sure what you are calling fawn lilies are what we called trout lilies back in Ontario...from the mottled leaves.
Great photos and the one of Emma standing on the rocks looks like a still from a movie.

Wow, if you didn't post these pictures I really wouldn't know it was spring, so dull here!

Spring is the best. It's so great to see life bursting back through.
