So I took a walk around the bog. It was quite wet and to early for most plants. The bog was starting to put on a show. The birds were singing but stayed far away from the camera. It is intersting to see how the bog takes back it's area.

They have renamed the Kent Bog to honor a prestigious professor from Kent State University. His work in Botany is well known.

Take your choice to walk either path because it all leads back to the beginning.

Do not step off the boardwalk or this fate could await you.

This is the Tamarack Tree as it starts to rebuild its needle type leaves.

The Tamarack Tree forest could be seen above the bog. They have to be dominate to grow so they thrive in the bog.

I could hear something rustling the leaves in the undergrowth, it was a Garter Snake. So my little tale comes to an end with more trips to the bog in the later Spring.

Sure, I picked this general theme. I knew I would be back with a lot of Spanish design. This is from Toledo, Spain. Nothing like this in Toledo, Ohio. It is called Alcazar De Toledo.

You saw a lot of churches in Spain.

The castles were magnificent.

A view of a church from the top of the castle.

The cities were so nice but the colors that I saw in Mexico was not there.

Here is a neat view through a tree.

The Spanish design was outstanding.

I just returned from a trip to Spain. We visited Barcelona and I captured these photos from the mountain above the city. This is a view of the Mediterranean Seaport at the city.

 You can see part of the city in the background.

Here is anther view through the trees. You can see they are having a warm Spring.
