Spring continues to bloom around the lake.  Every time I visit this bit of nature I see more and more signs of life.  The birds are more active, the tall grasses that line the pathways are bursting out of the ground and have begun to drape over the walkway.  The fresh, bright green growth on the cypress trees is already filling in and beginning to darken.  For months now, I have visited this lake and marveled at the different types of animals that live in and around it.  It turns out, that even after 8 months, there is still something new to discover.  During my recent walk, I saw a family of otters making their way along the edge of the lake to the island in the middle and I was able to snap a couple of pictures as they bobbed in and out of the water.  This family of otters and all of the other little bits of life and nature that I saw are in the slideshow below…this is May.
