Took the boys to the Nature Center again today, in the rain. When I saw these pussy willows from a distance I thought they were covered in water droplets. I made the kids come back to the car with me to get my camera.

I love the subtle colors that the camera captured. It seemed like just a grey day, with the winter trees still bare. But look closer and there were blues, greens, reds, and whites.

We were wet and I was cold (under-dressed compared to the kids), but we had a blast. It is really a sacred place for me. I feel at peace there, I can breathe more deeply and focus on the moment and on what is in front of me.
