I get to play hostess on April 18 and show off my favorite part of Emerald Heights -- the Nature Trail.

This is a lovely time of year to see it, as the first signs of spring reveal themselves.

Click here to view a short slide show of photos I captured earlier this week.

And then warm up your walking shoes and meet me on the trail!
