The Sounds of Springtime Up North

• The splash from the loons' feet as they dive under water 

• The croaking of the frogs in the ponds along the road

• The crunching of the leaves as the squirrels scamper through the woods

• The quacking of the wood ducks as they swim by the dock

• The drumming of the woodpecker on a hollow log

• The gentle crashing of the waves on the rocky shoreline

• The hoot of the owls calling back and forth in the woods

• The purr of a 4 wheeler in the distance

• The gentle whisper of the wind

• The peaceful, warm silence of the sunset on my face
