After the first Rain

Thursday it was raining hard. This morning the forest is awake with a firework of green.

Dormant springs start flowing. Water gives life in abundance.

A spider’s nursery survived the rain.

Mushrooms are growing where the rain collects in the cracks of dead wood.

A forest monster rests across the path, waiting to come alive in the twilight of the moon.

As I leave the forest I am greeted by beautiful flowers.
