Tiger Mountain

 

The sun came out yesterday afternoon and I headed out for a couple of hours to enjoy it.  I was looking for signs of spring.  Any would do, I’m ready to be convinced summer is just around the corner. So I worked my way through the dense forest

Into the dark woods

Nordic Pass-10

To where things were really starting to be green.

and lose their winter colors

Nordic Pass-4

Rip van Winkle is definitely not a Northwest story.  If you fell to sleep in the forest for twenty years you would be reclaimed by the moss.

Nordic Pass-9

but the trail had a pleasant wooden bridge covering it

Nordic Pass-14

and green things were growing all over the place.

Nordic Pass-6

There isn’t much that can be more insignificant than being a bug on a weed, growing out of moss, that is growing eight feet off of the ground on a tree rooted in a fallen cedar.

Nordic Pass-11

unless it is of course being some kind of slime mold. How do you tell it is spring time in Seattle?  The  molds are starting to tan.

Nordic Pass-12

It was a most pleasant three hours of walking and spring was beginning to break forth.
