Spring warmth and rays are settling over the creek and marshes,
encouraging nature to awaken and unfold...
Nourished by the creeks, marsh and spring rays...
early signs of life begin unfolding around this very special willow tree.
It is a peaceful time in the Hendrie Valley Sanctuary,
with an energetic jostle greeting a soon to be summer.
Buds are exploding and wrapping their lace around her trunk...
while winter stalks rejoice.
The marsh is alive dreaming of colours to come,
the willow reaching out to all of the various colours...
that summer will bring.
