I woke up to the smell of manure on the fields wafting in my open windows for the second day in a row, and I knew Spring had finally settled in. After my walk up to the Peace Garden yesterday I figured the wetland area in the Dykeman Spring Nature Park had to be blooming, too. And the light was perfect, a light cloud cover that left it light but didn't glare, perfect to make the colors right. It was time to take a walk in there again.
