I recently posted these Dandy lion photo’s on an amateur photography sight, and one of the comments was ” ok weeds” and I laughed at the comment. Like they were saying big deal weeds. And this sparked the thought “while others see weeds, I see wishes”. The ability to find the beauty in all things no matter how small has a profound impact. Life’s all about perspective.

The PawPaw Tunnel is a Canal tunnel that’s part of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, or (C&O canal). The tunnel began construction in 1836 and was completed in 1850. The canal was used to bypass six miles of horseshoe shaped bends in the Potomac River. It closed down in 1924 when the railway took over as the main transportation of goods. Before the railways they used mules and barges to transport goods along the C&O canal. Lock keepers lived in Lockhouses along the canal, and would fill and empty locks for the barges to pass through. The C&O Canal is an interesting piece of Western Maryland/West Virginia history.
Fun Fact: The Town of PawPaw West Virginia was named for the PawPaw tree, which grows in the area.

While on a walk over the weekend my daughter pointed out this baby snapping turtle sunning itself on a log.

Lilacs are one of my favorite smells of Spring. I had this little visitor yesterday afternoon, and was lucky enough to capture it with my camera.

I’m excited Spring is upon us with all the vibert colors, and warmer temperatures.
