Wildflower Hike with My Family

Moore Cove offers a perfect trail to a beautiful waterfall through streams and wildflowers, with plenty of opportunity for my great-nephew to prove his mettle. "Here's one!" he'd shout, and I'd trot up to snap it. I asked him to keep out an eagle eye for the deep red trillium, and he did. Together, we spotted a jack in the pulpit, and he held up the petal for me to snap away. Like his mother, he loves flowers, and like all little boys, he loves to throw things, even encouraging his little sister to do the same.

Walking with children and their mother whom I love is a lovely way to spend an April afternoon.
