I spent about an hour last Sunday morning on the trails along Sharp’s Run at Medford Leas, enjoying seeing the awakening of plants and trees. It’s nice to see the feathery foliage emerging on the trees but our lack of rain shows in the shallow Sharp’s Run.

Here’s a Redbud. It wasn’t on the trails; it’s along the walk in front of the Estaugh Building but it was too pretty against a cloud pattern of branches to be left out.
Back on the Red Trail here’s a crab apple that I photographed last week and, below, the same branch last Sunday. This is the trail where I watch a local walk her several exhuberant Jack Russell terriers and her collie most mornings. Last month one morning I watched five deer move smartly down this trail, and last week a Red Fox crossed my grass and headed for the trail.
The red trail crabapple (see above) a week later
There are lots of wildflowers happy to be here along the Yellow Trail. Here are two for whose names I’m in debt to Maggie Heineman.
