Cincinnati Nature Center | Sherry Lachelle Travels

“It was one of those March days, when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold:

when it is summer in the light and winter in the shade.”

~Charles Dickens

“The naked earth is warm with Spring, And with green grass and bursting trees

Leans to the sun’s kiss glorying, and quivers in the sunny breeze. ~Julian Grenfell

“Is the spring coming?” he said. “What is it like?”…
“It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine…”

―Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden

Let your joy burst forth like flowers in the spring…

“Only from the heart can you touch the sky.” ~Rumi

These photographs are from my walk this week on the Loveland Bike Trail and the Cincinnati Nature Center. Happy Spring!!

Long Branch Farm is a Cincinnati Nature Center property, located in Goshen, Ohio with 632 acres and 5 miles of hiking. I live very near here and trail jog five or six times a week with my dog…Jake. Many days while I’m jogging, I’ll wish I had brought my camera because everything is so beautiful, but when you have a dog like Jake with you…that’s not an option. So I laced up my shoes, while Jake was prancing around thinking he was going, and left without him to take photographs. I usually jog about 4 miles and cross the creek about 3 times. This is an area where you jog along the trail bordering the creek.
