Beyond Redbud Valley, I saw more and more spots of sunlight on the forest floor as the sun rose higher in the sky.
First I saw just tiny spots of sunlight.
The rising sun was more noticeable on the tree trunks.
And soon it was high enough to light the trail ahead of me.
After I crossed the creek and started back toward the parking lot, I spotted this beauty. It is the start of a new tree, but hardly big enough to call a sapling.
I climbed higher. The day was growing warmer. Everywhere the leaves were covered with water droplets.
I looked ahead to a small patch of prairie beyond the woods.
Back in the parking lot, I took a second photo of the Tulip Poplar that was in shadow when I began my walk. The grass covered then with frost was now sparkling with dew.
