Driving back up the mountain this morning, I noticed that Spicebush (Lindera benzoin) is in bloom. The woods are awash with its yellow blossoms that lean a bit toward green. A gorgeous time to see the many trees of the forest, nearly all still with no leaves, just the splash of yellow sprinkled about.

In thinking of a title for this post, I thought of how the forest looks enchanted. That brought back memories from my childhood, growing up in Maryland, visiting Enchanted Forest. But that is another story for another time.
