Here is the One Step at a Time #2 Challenge. According to the calendar, spring is officially here. In the Midwest, the weather has not caught up with the calendar yet.

This was my first time experiencing the 2-mile Kihchin Hiking Trail at Brighton State Recreation Area. The biggest surprise was the wonderful carvings on a huge tree trunk. These photos were taken on March 14, 2026.

An image from a different area in Brighton, Michigan was featured on “Abstract Reflections.”
