A walk on the wild side

wood anemone

Mild for this time of year, a strong wind blowing.

Spring flowers are coming out. A couple of days ago, I found a solitary wood anemone. Yesterday snowdrops and celandines.

I avoided walking under trees, it was not safe. A branch came flying through the air and missed me by inches.

Through the trees, the wind was howling. As I climbed further up the hill it was roaring. A sound I had never heard before. The sound was deafening.

I would have walked further, but looking back, the sky was black, a massive storm approaching. I decided it was time to turn around and head back.

I made it just before the rain came.
