After off and on storms this long week-end, the clouds have finally departed. Dew replaced rain on the plants at the park. It is going to be a beautiful day.

Many Philadelphia Fleabane are flowering along the marsh road. Some Giant Chickweed can also be found. And near the lake, I spied a patient mother working on a spring clutch.
