Signs of Spring along the Banbury-Mopac Trail

Tuesday afternoon I went for a hike on the nearby Banbury-Mopac Trail in Franconia Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. It was a warm,sunny afternoon. This seems to be one of the earliest places to find Spring flowers blooming.

Sarad said...: Marvelous. Would you like to see if a black page background looks better than a white background. Most of your photo shots are light shaded. It may give some contrast.; 4/06/2007 11:27:00 PM
JAM said...: Lovely photos of a lovely place. Looks like you take advantage of the beautiful places near where you live. I always try to, never know where I'll be five years from now.; 4/06/2007 11:54:00 PM

Thanks, tony myles. God touches us in many different ways one of them being Spring. :)

Thanks, cabinwriter. Nature photography is something that I really enjoy and enjoy sharing with others.

Thanks, sarad. An idea to ponder.

Thanks, jam. I think we all ought to take advantage of enjoying the beauty around us wherever we are.
