Otter Creek Park

Yesterday was an overcast day and in some areas of Louisville rain showers fell. Not being dissuaded, and after checking the radar closely, I decided to take the 45 minute drive out to Otter Creek Park which is situated just south of southwest Louisville.

Arriving at the park, the sun began to peek out between the clouds and blue skies were making an appearance. At times deep into the park, it reminded me a little of the Roaring Fork Nature Trail in the Smokies, minus the Roaring Fork, as some areas held more moisture than others. Wildflowers, dogwoods and wisterias were blooming in abundance. I happened upon these little slivers of fern, growing around the base of this tree, as I drove the route back to Blue Hole. This particular image is a favorite. The moss surrounding the base of the tree, bright purple violets blooming brightly, and the ferns sprouting up, perfect. With the moisture in this section of the park, it was nice to find the ferns attempting to take hold.

And least I forget, the Wisteria, which I learned after my Google search last evening, blooms white, as well as that lovely lavender, smelled fantastic. ENJOY!
