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!
