Resilience

Another walk in the logged woods this morning.  It's so pretty in the early morning hours.  The grasses and ferns are coming back - top 2 photos.  Bottom 2 are an oak seedling, growing slowly but it will be strong and grow a very long time and on the bottom left (as you face it) is a young birch - a much faster grower, but a weak wooded tree overall.  There were lots and lots of wild blueberries too - I did sample them and not sure that there will be many left when they are ripe as the birds have a way of finding them first.  It's kind of like a walking meditation being out there early and only hearing the different birds singing.  If only the horseflies would go away (they will soon).
