better than expected

Today turned out much nicer than was forecast, so I had another pleasant walk through the park and woods. And look: daffodils!


Trout lily is coming up all over the place.



As is false hellebore.



The swan, who I've decided is named "Sweetie," was preening her feathers by the path.



Nearby, the geese were cooling their feet in the stream.



Found my first johnny jump-up of the spring, near where I found the hyacinth yesterday.



I was seriously happy to see the daffodils. There will be lots more soon.



It's just now starting to cloud over. I'm so glad it waited to do that!
