The spring is here. The birds are singing yet the sky is still dark. The birds do capture preys in the dark despite the widespread notion that they catch preys by sight, not by smell or by other sense organs.
In the reserve, there are people bathing in the sun. Bicycling, on the motorcycles, barbecue, etc. Flowers on the ground, trees started to get green, and the elks are in the wood.
I waited the plant to bloom and found out yesterday that the color of the flower is maroon. The leaves has the pigments, but you would not be sure until the flower comes out.
