Middle of April. Warm enough in the morning to walk around in a sweater and Tilley hat. Hadn’t done that since, oh, sometime in October. What a relief to wander the woods relatively unencumbered!

Anyway, here are a few photos. The rest are in an album here on Flickr.

The most boring chipmunk in West Michigan. Seriously. This little dude sat on that stump, mouth full of food, and didn’t move for at least a minute. Ain’t nobody got time for that!

Shy garter snake.

Please do what you can to support groups helping those that will now need to travel for reproductive care, like the @BrigidAlliance
