As I walked along the Monocacy Creek this week I was reminded how lucky we are to have a beautiful creek run through the center of town.
Johnston Park a “nature preserve is located in a former 18th-century industrial region and is a popular spot for taking a break from the city and enjoying restored natural vistas.”
The dam is soon to be removed to reduce the chance of flooding.

What a beautiful creek. I can see that the willow trees are greening up. Doesn't Spring seem like a magical time of year as it wakes from winter slumbers?
MG,
It is a magical time. There are more flowers and shades of green every day. The magnolias and flowering cherries have joined the yellow-green of the willows.
One of the first things I noticed was the greening of the willow trees. I luv them for that reason, so early to green up. And I like how in some places the water is calm and in others places it's rushing.

Donna,
The creek was lined with fishermen/women young and old this weekend. The weather was glorious.
My world is getting greener by the minute.
