Spring is Here! - Lime Kiln Trail (yes, again!)

This was my 3rd time hiking the Lime Kiln Trail, and this time Justus came along.  It was fun to have him on the hike and definitely led to different photo ops, like the ZZ Top style moss beard.

At the lime kiln we did some looking around.  I still think it's pretty cool that the moss and leaves have reclaimed it so much in 100 years that it's difficult to see until you are right on it. 

I also thought this spiderweb looked cool shining in the sun.

One of the coolest things about today's hike though was it was warm out!  It was in the 50's and the sun shone through the trees.  Birds were singing like they were twitterpated and leaf buds were unfurling everywhere.  Skunk cabbages were rising up from the mud in bloom before their great leaves even opened up and the garter snakes had come out of hibernation!
