Hidden Valley Spring Time

Hidden Valley in March is beautiful making the areas that still need to be cleaned up stand out in painful contrast. There is still a big pile of tires that need to be removed.

Winter weather has done quite a number on the backside of the barn. 

                  

The beavers have been very busy. The big apple trees are all down.

These were good sized trees. The beavers are definitely ambitious. 

The valley looks different without the apple trees. 

There were two dams on Wildcat Creek in March. There was an upper dam in the same location as the first year's dam attempt. 

And a lower dam near the confluence. 

Beavers slides are everywhere along the banks of the creek. 

The crocus and snowdrops were growing in great profusion all over the valley.

Hidden Valley is a beautiful piece of the Rhododendron Preserve. More photos are coming soon.
