Hola Amigos and Welcome to April !!
What do you think about this question?
Does March Madness turn into April Foolishness??
Might be a good “essay question” for the oft mentioned “Final Exam”? :)
I still haven’t seen the “busy beaver” that seems to live nearby but here is some evidence of his work :) The oak tree’s bark and branches seem to be the attraction/goal ?
The Morton Arboretum website has a “Spring Bloom Report” that they share each Wednesday. I decided to use it for an “Early Spring Scavenger Hunt”.
As usual, when I pay attention I learn/relearn a few new things !! Their website also mentioned the sounds of birds and frogs in the ponds and marshes, I heard them but I just can’t seem to pick up the sounds with a video on my phone, remember, I am a “work in progress”, accent on the progress! :) And, cameras still do not have a “fragrance mode” to share the smells of all those beautiful flowers (get to work you inventer types :).
As you will see in the video, I did spot quite a few Turtles (eleven) and a nice Great Blue Heron let me film his “world” for about 4 minutes. I found it interesting that the Heron’s legs bend the opposite way than ours do at the “knee”.
Also, if you watch closely, At about 04:48 in the video the Heron lifts his right leg and stands on his left leg only, for about one minute :)

Did you notice the quick little “Fluid Mechanics Refresher” photo/video ?? Interesting ?? It’s ok to say no :) Don’t worry, it won’t be on the Final Exam :)

| I think Aurora should have a “Going Over the Falls In A Barrel” Festival :) No, I am not volunteering for that! |

As the weather continues to improve I will explore other local areas than “just” my trusted Garfield Park Conservatory and Morton Arboretum. Like the old saying says - “Variety is the Spice of Life”, so I accept the challenge of sharing some “Spice” for the Life of me/you/us. Does that make sense or is it April Foolishness? :)
Somebody said “You can say that again!”
So, I will :)
FULL BLOOM AHEAD !!
