On April 7 I celebrated my best friend’s birthday (she would have been 32) by walking at Tryon Creek State Park. It was a wonderful day with sunlight peaking through clouds and trees allowing beautiful “treats” to pop out at me. These little pansies, ferns, and the bright green moss covered path were just beautiful.

I will post more from this walk soon so check back to see photos of the trillium a true gem of this park, salmon berry flowers, and more. Check my recent weekly photo challenge UP to see the woodpecker that I saw on that walk.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Up

Looking up on a hike on April 7 I caught a view of this woodpecker. It was a bit of a difficult target to photograph because it was darting from tree to tree up it made stop at one near me for a few minutes to peck at the tree.
