With all the trouble in the world, I can’t help but feel hopeful when I see a wood frog,
These frogs migrate long distances to breed, so the sight of this reptile means that there’s sufficient habitat to support them on one of my favorite trails .
I did find a few milkweed buds to eat before these flowers burst into full bloom.
A mocking bird stopped by to check me out while I was foraging. I feel like I’ve succeeded in blending in with the natural world when animals approach me.
