Nothing like a good walk to clear your mind and give you a fresh perspective …especially after some much needed rain.

I love how the parched world feels whole again, even though that’s far from being true.

All the colors are a little richer, even in the subdued light. Moss and lichen sping back to life.

I was puzzled by a murmuring sound which turned out to be the stream running through the ravine … it’s been too long.

Mushrooms are popping up all over the place!  They were just waiting for the right, wet invitation.

I found more of these reclusive varied thrush on my country walk, I won’t forget to visit them soon when I can use some reclusive time of my own.
