Coldstream Conservation Area in Spring

Today we have warmer weather, sunshine and time.  So Nellie and I went for a walk in the conservation area  behind the store.  It is a wonderful place to visit and we met lots of walkers and dogs on the trail.  I took along my camera to record some signs of spring.  There are a few quilting inspirations too.

Skunk Cabbage flowers, always a first sign.  Love the lime green and deep red!
Spring green, layers of colour in the water, reflections
Nellie, aka Little Miss Muddy Paws
I took some photos of things that inspire modern quilting lines.

This bark makes me think of random lines and boxes.  More parallel than not, I think.











Or wavier lines than ebb and flow towards each other and away.











Or concentric rings, quarter circles like a Baptist fan maybe.












Nellie and I had a great time.  Would you like to join us sometime?!
