The weather is finally warming and various signs of spring are showing up in nature, including insects.

While making one last visit to see the pelicans I spotted this fly warming itself on an information plaque.
This past week week we had a few foggy days with cooler temps which usually creates a frosted wonderland. Although I did not have the chance to really take advantage of the phenomenon, I did capture a few images and went out a couple of days later to try macro photography on what was left of the frost.
One of those mornings at one of those spots where nature fills my senses.
Spring warmth and sunshine persuades these ferns to unfurl their greenery.

Shapes rise from the watery bog. There is light and there is movement. Who knows what lies beneath the water, beneath the light, what is hiding, waiting to surprise us? These are the big questions along the October road.
Nature casually creates lovely and simple patterns, it’s up to us to slow down and see what is being created.
