Snowshoeing at Wheeler Nature Park, South Burlington, Vermont.
Invitation to Wheeler Nature Park, in SB VT.
See and
read what I found.
It was burr cold but I found a remedy. Against a backdrop of white, I found vibrant color, new life-soft and curly, flowers, VT cotton, and cradles. I found what the cats have lost, met Grandpa Wheeler, and sensed serenity. Discovered a tree covered with a soup ingredient, and viewed a framed trail. Discovered the pie in the sky was really winterberry pie.
I even spotted a praying mantis on my
winter snowshoe hike. I met a family of six, well-rooted and straight as an
arrow. The father's name was Mr. Budd. Have you seen the winter sunflowers and
the genealogy tree there? Bring your young children; I am sure they will enjoy
seeing Mr. Snuffleuupagus as much as I did. Do not fear the aliens from down
under - that would be making a mountain out of the molehills.
View the photos below to see what I saw at Wheeler NaturePark. Go, see for yourself, and remember to Stop, Look, and Listen, as nature
has much to offer.

Remove the burr's by dressing for the weather.
Splashes of color - vibrant against snow white background.
Seeds remind me of new life awaiting their time.
Soft and curly.
Save the Monarch Butterfly - grow regional milkweed.
Shy on color, yet still a beautiful flower.

When I was 8 years old my mother and I rented the upstairs of what is now the Wheeler house from a lady named Rena. Myself and Rena’s cows had the run of the place. I spent many of my most cherished hours traipsing the fields and forests. It’s so nice to see that it is now a Nature Park and others can also enjoy its beauty. It’s also very lovely to enjoy a virtual visit through your wonderful photographs. Thank you for sharing them!
