a journey through landscapes real and imagined

Like a River

I found the most amazing place today. It was just me and the creatures! While this post is named for the Hymn of comfort, when I finished my hike it did look “Like” I had tried to cross “a River”… And the Hike was “Glorious!” This place has no developed trails – this may be why I was alone!

Look how the prairie is coming alive!

I am definitely going to have to come back to this place to follow the seasons! Of course, I was excited to see the birds, but it was equally exciting to see all of the green coming up throughout the prairie and many things starting to bloom!

American Goldfinch
some kind of Hawthorn? This definitely has thorns
Salix spp. (Willow) blooming
Swamp Sparrow or Chipping Sparrow…I can’t tell them apart!
