An entry for the #wednesdaywalk challenge hosted by @tattoodjay.
Hooray! The trails are finally open again! After a long winter and wet spring, the trails that I enjoy so much have been closed for the past four months. I could have hiked them throughout the winter, but the ice makes it difficult in the dark. Therefore, I waited until today to get back on my morning bluff hike routine.
After a brisk walk up the hill, I managed to get back to those stone stairs and descent along the south of the bluff. I tried to take my daughter through this area a few times in search of the fae. We like to think they hide in the holes in the stone hillside.
Down I went...
Over the stairs...
And into the land of the fae...
While looking for the Gentry, I was also on the lookout for the returning green. Just a little bit here and there. A few weeks into the future, and this whole will be bursting with greens and wildflowers. Now that we are "unofficially" past winter here, life will return in a hurry.
Look at that! Early wildflowers on the move!
All in all, a wonderful 40 minute hike to sneak in before work. I hope everyone else out there had a wonderful #wednesdaywalk too. Until next week, stay safe and kind!

Thanks so much!
A very beautiful sample in your photos of those places so everyday, but wonderful, as is nature with its changes, and if they are loaded with imagination even more. Best regards, @sagesigma.
Thanks so much!
Looks like such an amaziung hike, I bet you were so happy the snow and ice is gone and you were finally able to revisit there :)
Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)
What are the fae, are they a bird species?
Love the rock over there! Those types of things always interest me to find them while out on a hike. If we can get some more packing done this week, I'd love to take our son out for a nice hike. It's been many weeks since we've hit the trails!
You and Hattie should get yourself a pair of snowshoes! Those things are a killer way to get out there and do some good hiking while not being afraid of losing your footing. The cleats on them are what makes it better. We tried hiking in the late winter when things were melting but it was miserable how slippery it was. Went to a local second hand sporting good store and grabbed a pair of snow shoes for the little man for 40$ and bam we were golden! (my dad bought me a pair a few years ago). Best investment we made for going out for hikes in the winter lol plus damn good exercise having to lift your feet so high.
The fae are the fairy folk, lol - we like to hunt for them in the quarries and forests nearby. lots of fun (haven't found them yet, but I have actually heard some stories in the area).
That's a good idea about snowshoes. I remember looking at some from my YT van lifers, but they were out of the budget! I'll have to stake some second hand stores in the area...that would help a bunch in the winter as a lot of trails are horrible.
