Our return visit to the Millman Road was under the new green of the canopy which stretches over the road in many places. This new green makes this time in nature on of my favourite times of the year.
We had lunch under the trees on an old road which has grown-in over the years.
The old leaves from last autumn crunched under foot while all around us, new maple trees sprang upward out of the red soil.
This area has a green glow which inspires a sense of wonder. On this sunny but cold day, the tops of the trees swayed in the breeze making the shadows dance on the road.
The birds flew from branch to branch too quickly to photograph but the greetings and songs filled the air. Conversation was superfluous.
The birch, mountain ash, maple and oak leaves were small but provided an ample canopy.
Buds of apple blossoms were on the brink of opening
and other blooms already open provided a white ceiling to parts of the canopy.
Ahhh...bliss!

So very lovey! I also love the pretty colors of the springtime! Our trees are now in full greenery. :-)
Gorgeous pictures. I envy you the walk and peaceful time there having lunch. Doing some blog walking this Monday morning and found my way here. Always nice to meet new blogger.
I love a green leafy canopy like that!
You've perfectly captured that brief springtime moment when the leaves are that beautiful shade of fresh yellow-green. It doesn't last long but it's wonderful while it's here.
Months of pleasant outings coming up.
A beautiful spring road.
A beautiful area for a ramble about!
A great place for a picnic.
This looks very much like my woods did a few weeks ago!
Heavenly!
For buying extra storage (not sure if that is the same as pictures) go to your top right hand corner of your blogger account (the "overview stats) and click on "my account". (Mine has my initial "A" in a circle). click on "my account" in the blue box. Under "account preferences" on the right, click on "your google drive storage". Note what it says concerning the % of the 15 G you are using. Then click on the arrow to the next page and it will say what it costs to buy more...$1.99 /month for 100G, and $9.99/month for 1T. (I only have used 1G of the 15 allowed). Does this help? Andrea
p.s...If you have the older set-up, you can also look at the top of your blog page and click on dashboard. then click on the right hand emblem for your account. Andrea
Ahhhhhh.

The new green doesn’t last too long Jan, does it?
Thank you for visiting Sandy and welcome.
That canopy is one of my favourite things in life Debra.
I love that green John, more that the dark green in the height of summer.
So true AC.
It is one of the Heritage Roads on the island Joanne. We want to explore more of them this year.
I love these Heritage Roads William.
It was a perfect spot Linda.
You are weeks ahead of us Tabor.
I didn’t have to buy extra storage from Google since I had only used .11G of the space. My Dropbox was full and I had to create another storage area in Picasa. I put the info in another post Andrea.
Thank you for all of the information you provided. I tried everything you suggested and more.
Sat there with a cup of tea, the wind in the trees and the birds singing, my blood pressure must drop from the highs I experience. It feels like it does anyway Debbie.
I can't think of a nicer place to sit and have a cup of tea Marie 💙
What a beautiful spot. Take care Diane
Me either PDP.
It is a piece of heaven Diane.
Beautiful!! I wouldn't be surprised to see a horse drawn buggy come down that lane...
Me too Jenn.
