Welcome to this week's edition of Nature Friday! Since this weekend is Valentine's Day, we thought we would show you some pictures of a place we all love to hike, the Arcata Marsh!
Believe it or not, some of the trees are already starting to bloom! We sure hope we don't get another cold snap before Spring truly arrives!
The trees still have a long way to go before things are green again though.
Not that the marsh doesn't look good in the Winter too.
The clouds and bare limbs of the trees make pretty reflections, don't you think?
It's easier to see the birdies without leaves on the trees too!
Plus, we can go for longer hikes when it's cooler outside.
We have to say that although it's pretty in the winter, we are also looking forward to the sunnier days of Spring!
We hope everyone has a wonderful Valentines Day with the ones they love!!
that is so wonderful to see the trees... sadly our early spring is ruined now with ice and snow...
ReplyDeleteWe think there are things to appreciate in every season, and we always love to tag along on your wonderful walkies.
ReplyDeleteHappy Nature and then Valentines Day!

What beautiful photos and we especially love the pretty flowers! You guys look so Valentine festive!
ReplyDeleteThe blue-greys of winter against the soft browns all look so natural and soft ... and the spark of bright color in between ... little Valentine puppers, they are the blooming flowers!
ReplyDeleteWell done. Happy Hearts Day to all!
Looking good for Valentine's weekend you all. We think that area still looks pretty green, even for winter. Here everything is white, or really dead brown.

ReplyDeleteMy don't you all bring the colour to midwinter?! Spring is just round the corner, tradition tells, but the seasons all have their own... turn these days and we need to make the best of them - as you have done here! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
I can't decide which is prettier, the flowers or the cute canines. love the white flowers at the end and the reflections are gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place to hike. You all are so cute in your Valentine's gear too.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Spring is starting at your place. We enjoyed seeing your photos both inside and outside. We have bitter cold here in WNY, and are expecting more snow next week. But we can't complain. It really hasn't been too bad so for.
ReplyDeleteMom hates the cold gloomines of winter. The cold sunny days are a bit better. The spring, summer and fall are the best! We do love seeing Rosy, Jakey, Arty and Sunny posing so pretty. That sun shines on down right through the clouds. XOX Lucy and Xena
