It is rare for us to not be in Pennsylvania for the weekend of Easter. This year everything is different. We decided to wrap up the long weekend with a visit to South Chagrin for geocache maintenance. Our first sighting of the day was this blue jay.
We had a cache at a small pond/wetland area where we often see frogs and turtles. It was our first stop on the trail. The cache was missing, but there were frogs and turtles there for us to see.
A pair of perfect mallards looking like decoys rounded out the sightings at this first stop.
This park is one of the few locations where we have spotted white trout lilies. They aren't common here, but can be spotted with a little diligence. Today they were very close to the pond.
Yellow trout lilies are very common in South Chagrin. They create large carpets in areas.
It was early in the season for white trillium blooms.
Bloodroot is plentiful in the park.
Marsh Marigolds carpet the ground off the trails.
