We walked down by the lake with Grandma and up into the swampy areas where the beavers are working on felling trees and the herons make their nests. We were looking for emerging plants and trying to document some of them, too.
This was a freshly felled tree. The woodchips were new and bright and the tree branches in the water had fresh new Spring leaves on them.

This kind of milky glass green color turned to turquoise blue at the edges of the lake, like a giant piece of agate. The herons nest around here, too.

This is an interesting cane grass that was growing next to the lake in one area. I can't remember seeing it before, but there were several plants of it. The top was feathery and the bottom was a collection of hollow reed-like pieces growing out of one clump.
Daphne was so happy, look at her smile!
Esme was happy to get her feet in the water, too!
