Is it safe to come out yet?

Along the forest floor, bits of green are starting to show.  Warm weather has melted nearly all of the snow and the ice is losing resistance.  


Still ... we are in Minnesota.  What say you, will March come in like a lion?  At least one walker at the park agrees.

Enjoy!

After the first snow storm

Yesterday started with rain and ended with cold winds and snow cover.  The temperatures have dropped.  The late sun this afternoon had some melting effect and cleared some of the paths.  Snow clung to much of the foliage still.  But tender colors can still be found.

Enjoy!

Marsh road paved!

The path along the creek and the marsh road are finally open!  

The gravel is gone and the road is paved.  This will be primarily for bicycles.  








Late as it is in November, there are still late bloomers and color.  









Even active fish flash a little orange.

Enjoy!

Signs of Fall at the Gardens

 

The park is still under construction, with many parts not accessible yet.

Meanwhile at Eloise Butler Wildflower Gardens... Fall is starting to show herself.

Enjoy!

"Bee"zy Place!

The Bassett Creek Regional Trail Extension project has closed more of the park down, including both bridges.  This has not stopped the other busy workers at the park.  











From bees to ambush bugs, the park it quite the busy place.

Enjoy!

Weaver's Romance

Weavers took advantage of a windless night.  The morning dew approved their work with wet kisses.  Then a gentle sun-warmed breeze blew the kisses away.

Enjoy!

Summer Tiaras

Summer is at full height.  Early morning provided for several golden moments.

Morning dew provided for lovely sunlit tiaras.



Enjoy!
