Our Favorite Place to Hike

 
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!!

 

 

Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see a link below, click HERE  to go to our Hoppity Page.

    The 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!
    Well 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.

    My 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

    Looks 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.

    Mom 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

    The marsh looks like a very peaceful place too. You all look so good all decked out for Valentine's Day. We saw some of that stuff on the counter today, hope Mom isn't planning on using it on us.
