A different native flower, plant or tree made me stop at almost every step. This Spring I had the time to really look in a way I don’t remember ever doing before. It was magical.

I set myself an impossible project: to photograph every type of plant (and animal) I saw along a one-mile stretch of the path. Here’s what I found.
