Monday afternoon, after the clouds had burned off, Laurie and I met up with longtime Hylebos supporter David Kaplan for a tour of the new boardwalk and interpretive signage. Though the temps had reached the low 70s, the cool green forest canopy lowered the temps in the park quite a bit, so that the walk was if not cool at least not too hot.
The park is exploding with lush, green vegetation. The park's salmonberries are a tempting orange color, but days away from ripeness yet. (darn it!). The tree canopy was alive with bird song, serenading us throughout our walk. It was too hot, however, for most other creatures. The only wildlife we saw were two juvenile garter snakes, who lit out for the underbrush as soon as we saw them.
I will be in a training workshop all morning Tuesday...possibly daydreaming of being out on the boardwalk, listening to birds.
