Thursday Thirteen 415: Walking in Wingra Woods

Scenes from a walk in Wingra Woods, UW Arboretum, on 22 April -- Earth Day . . .




Many wooded paths were lined with violets


Cozy forest home




Bitterroot, a spring ephemeral


A path through Wingra Woods -- trees
and shrubs were starting to lea
f


Near one of the natural springs 


There were a TON of marsh marigolds near Big Spring 


Big Spring feeds into Lake Wingra 


Doesn't that water look cold?


You can see some of the marsh marigolds in this photo


There was a lot of toothwort, too -- another ephemeral


Dead trees and logs host new life


A glimpse of Lake Wingra through the trees.

  4. They really show that early spring feel.
