Forest views filling in with 2024 leaves Near the Aman Park trail head, this view off the bluff down to the Sand Creek offers long views when the tree branches are bare during late fall, winter, and early spring. But now the green is returning quickly. In another week of mild temperatures, occasional rain, and longer days, the view will turn into a wall of green.

Maple, maple, maple ready to burst into flower then leaf The paved walking path that connects the neighboring Ottawa County parks (Grand River park here and Grand Ravines park 3/4 mile ahead) shines after the showers of early spring snow in this view toward the west. The bank of maples forms a continuous wall of verticals gilded by the afternoon sun along one side and backed by shadow on the opposite side, producing an amplified 3-D impression in the flat surface of the photo.
