After taking the plunge of buying a new car yesterday we took it in to get its emissions test done (which it passed no problem) before picking up Andrew and Merewyn and heading to the North Shore for another gentle hike. First stop was lunch by Lynn Creek, where we watched a dipper diving into the fast-flowing water to find morsels for its noisy youngster, stood on a nearby rock. We ambled along the Lynn Headwaters loop, enjoying our surroundings, filled with fresh greenery. The new leaves on the vine maples glowed among the tall second growth.
We found many spring things to marvel at and photograph, from tiny fungi to giant skunk cabbage leaves, and dozens of flowers in between. It was a good day to be in the trees as the clouds never left the mountain tops, and the little sprinkle of rain just added to the freshness.
