Here is another really cool urban trail, this time in Lansing. It parallels a creek (I think it's Sycamore Creek) which is a tributary of the Red Cedar River which in turn is a tributary of the Grand River which flows into Lake Michigan. Wes and I drove up and walked from Jolly Road up to Mount Hope Road where there is a cemetery which opened in the late 1800's. It is a paved trail with plank bridges over the wetter lands. Lots of ducks. Lots of knocked down trees.
We spotted our first flowers of the year. These little snowdrops on the side of a hill. Yay!!!
The trees are starting to look a little green and it won't be long until we have leaves and all my pictures won't look the same.
Yesterday we stayed in Ann Arbor and also brought Tonks, our dog along. It was windy and my foot was sore from my long walk on Saturday so I only walked about a mile. We walked at Lilley Park which is in Pittsfield Township just south of Ann Arbor. The site used to be a gravel pit and there are paths that make for an easy walk around the ponds.
