Follow Your Toes

Winter with shoes has softened my feet I discovered quickly as I waded through a few gravel beds.  I found myself seeking sand and softer walking.  I had to go slower than last summer. I lose my balance easier.  Soon I may need a staff to navigate the creek beds but not yet.

The Heal All plant has a good stand this year.

The Spittlebugs or baby Froghoppers

hide within the safety of their own froth 

until they transform from nymph to an adult. 

It was a good day to follow my toes.
