Pacific Northwest
We’re stay-at-home these days, since Governor Inslee set that policy in place on March 23 (now extended to May 4). It’s a smart and effective way to slow the Covid-19 epidemic, which has reached my county as it has everywhere. Essential activities are permitted however, and that includes taking walks outdoors, keeping a 6’ distance from other people. I go out for walkies every day, and yes being out in nature is essential for seeing what’s happening in the natural world, as well as basic physical and mental health. On April 1 we took a walk out at Iceberg Point, a nearby open meadow on a south-facing bluff accessed through woods.
A few plants were blooming, more were just emerging as foliage.
These were a few of the fresh foliage appearing now, before their flowers.

Overcast, windy and unseasonably cool in the PNW islands. 39° currently. Got almost half an inch of rain overnight.
What’s up in nature in your area today?
