Coltsfoot

 

The Coltsfoot are coming up and blooming along the upper trail at Old Mans Cave.

Their bright, cheery blooms are hard to miss as you walk along the trail.

So the colors are looking much  better than to the alternative of this winters trail.

 

Spring Rains

 

  The frozen  Upper Falls at the Hocking Hills State Park have thawed now with the warmer temperatures and the spring rains have caused the streams and the falls over flowing with fast moving waters.

The pool below the falls is full and the water has a beautiful green color.

Years of rushing water has carved out the rocks above the falls.

Looking down from the bridge that crosses above the falls
the water below churns up sparkling bubbles as it hits the  ledges and rocks that make up the falls.

Crystal Falls in the Hocking Hills

In the gorge between Cedar Falls and Old Mans Cave is another falls that may not be familiar  with visitors.
It is a 90 foot falls called Crystal Falls.

Soon There Will Be Spring Blooms

 

I can hardly wait until the woods start greening again
and the Jack In The Pulpits will be growing.

 

Violets will be blooming covering the forest floors.

The wild Phlox will add their blooms to the mix.

And the wild Columbines will be blooming along
the creek in the gorge.

The Cinnamon Ferns will be growing in the shady
hollers and sending up shoots of brown.

The Tiarella Foam Flowers will bloom their
tiny white blooms.

 

Wild Geraniums will be blooming along the paths.

Bluebells will be decked out with their blooms of blue.

 

The funny blooms of Dutchmen's Breeches will 
be hanging down.

  There will be blooms of yellow from the Downey Violets.

 

And white Trilliums will be everywhere around the rocky cliffs.
