In the woods today ...

You never know what or who you will spot in the woods ...

could it be a labra-bunny?

Everyone gets involved in Easter egg hunts in our family :-D

beautiful finds along our way ...

shedding ...

unfurling ... {isn't that a magical word}

~unfurling: make or become spread out from a rolled or folded state,

especially in order to be open to the wind ~

We had a change of weather each turn we took it seemed this afternoon.

It started out warm and sunny - then extremely windy - then the dark clouds appeared and along with it  a few drops of rain - then back to warm and sunny again!

Can you see Grey Jay {also known as Canada Jay or Whisky Jack}?

Canada's National Bird

He was singing a fine tune - for most of our walk through the forest we could hear his beautiful voice.

look at all the buds ♥

so many beautiful tangles ...

and the beginnings of something very beautiful

I absolutely love twig shelters ... it is my dream to have one for my own garden :-D

I can imagine sitting inside all cocooned up with a quilt and book ~ bliss

***

Buried deep beneath the surface of his character

was a hidden, yet restless ambition:

but this was perhaps at present,

a secret

even to himself.

We know not our own characters

till time teaches us

self knowledge ...
