Thank you for all the new views and likes from last week, it helps keep me inspired.

Looking for some new quotes to use. If you have any, please put them in the comments.

Sunday, 04/06/2025: Posted photo — Snow Covered Log.

We had some snow in the area. I did a little walk in the woods and saw this snow-covered log. There is a little bit of elevation where I live so the weather is different in our town versus the next town over. It was raining in the other town and snowing at our house.

Monday, 04/07/2025: Posted photo — Foot Bridge.

After cancelling my hike the last two Monday’s, I decided to go tonight. There was more snow on the trails. The footprints on this bridge were the only sign that someone else hiked today. There were other locations where there were no footprints in sight. We did see a deer trail along off one of the trails.

The trails were muddy with no snow on the trees at lower elevations. As we started to hike towards the summit, there was more snow on the trees and on the trails. The trails were wet, and the rocks were slippery due to the water flowing over them. The summit was in the clouds, and I could see heavier snow cover ahead. The hiking was going to be slow to be safe, so I made the call not to submit this week. The hike would have lasted longer than planned since the group started to explore a new unmarked trail earlier in the hike, so it slowed us down. I will explore this trail on my own so that I can lead the group on this trail in the future.

Tuesday, 04/08/2025: Posted photo — Pineapple.

For this week’s photo project, the subject is detail. I took this photo, and the photo of the dragon fruit that I will be posting tomorrow, to show the details in the fruits. Many fruits have great details and there is so much texture and details in a pineapple.

Wednesday, 04/09/2025: Posted photo — Dragon Fruit.

If the pineapple did not show enough detail, I will be posting this photo of dragon fruit. Like a pineapple, dragon fruit has texture and details on its outer skin. I have posted details about dragon fruit in the past. I purchased a dragon fruit and will give a report on how it tastes in future posts.

Snowing here again. I took this photo this morning just in case the snow melts today. The temperature is fluctuation more over the last few days and there is a possibility of more snow tonight.

Friday, 04/11/2025: Post photo — Round Meadow Pond.

We received snow last night. Woke up this morning with a little more than a dusting last night. I took some photos of the snow in our yard, just before the bobcat came strolling by me.

On my way to work, I passed Round Meadow Pond. I took a side trip to take a photo of the dam, since the area around the pond gave me the impression to do so. I was also looking for the bold eagle that I saw flying over the pond on my way home last night.

Nature is amazing. These tulips started to grow before the snow, and they continue to grow after the snow. We had over 7 inches of snow last night. With the weather constantly changing this time of year, tulips, daffodils, and crocus are blooming and their leaves can be seen above any snow cover.

That is all for now. Until next week, be safe.
