Rather pedestrian for Sunday Bridges

So marshy even after the long-gone snow thaw is this section of the Little Carp River Trail in the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park at the western end of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.  Hmmm, can we call it wilderness if there is man-made walkway through the marshy sections?! 

For slightly more sophisticated bridges, visit Louis' Sunday Bridge Series.

the path to spring

This "plantation" of white pine and oaks is now probably 15 years old.  It is part of the Hermitage property and the system of paths in the hills and woods surrounding us.  With the snow gone, it is again accessible and a joy to walk through.
