Jayne and I were out for an early spring hike in the Mill Pond Conservation area, During the hike, we came upon several areas where the air was incredibly perfumed. Looking down we saw thousands of hepatica in bloom. It\u2019s hard to believe that such as a small flower could have such a dramatic effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mill Pond Conservation area is south of Smiths Falls on the Rideau River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommended Tune: Springtime Bliss by Karen Steven<\/p>\n\n\n\n
