Early spring is a wonderful time to be outdoors. There is something new every day and the blossoming weather is unfolding ahead. This day we saw many new buds and tiny leaves and were a able to see through the trees to hills and bodies of water beyond.
We started at Hopkinton State Park in an area where we hadn't visited before. This is the west side of Route 85. The first trail follows a spit of water attached to the Hopkinton Reservoir. It apparently doesn't have any other name. We found lots of this cat briar - sharp thorns - in one section. We'd never seen such a large area like this.

Most noticeable was the sound of peepers and wood frogs. It was overwhelming. The video is mine. For more info, here is a web link to wood frogs. And here is one of spring peepers .
We had some more time and wanted to explore another area. Here is Paul at Waseeka Wildlife Sanctuary in Holliston. We have been here many times. We didn't find any waterfoul on this day but there is an osprey nest in a tree below.
