South Burlington, Vermont nature trails - Wheeler Nature Park

Wheeler Nature Park photos, South Burlington, VT.

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.

     BuRR its cold outside- 

            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.
