While we’re waiting for that first lamb… a woodland update
~ the little stream that runs from our spring has slowed to a trickle… although hard to wish for with lambs on the way, we could really use some rain
~ the ferns’ fiddleheads are unfurling and providing a delicate, lacy green in the forest
~ the mayapples are opening their umbrella like leaves, popping up everywhere
~ the delicate little yellow wood violet is a wonderful surprise when stumbled upon tucked in between rocks or at the base of a tree
~ and the trilliums… trilliums. triliums. trilliums… they are beautiful this year… white or red, found in a clump of two or three… or covering a hillside
although i am missing the warmth of central mexico, I can't wait to get out and explore the forest wild flowers this weekend.
mayapples…haven't thought of them in years. love the ferns' fiddleheads. 🙂
I love it! You were laying right on the ground to shoot those fiddleheads, weren't you?!
Beautiful photographs! What a lovely place!
We could use the rain here too.
I hope Daisy is okay and has her babies soon, poor thing…it's hard being a mamma!
Beautiful shots of the woodland offerings!
Trilliums say spring in the woodlands to me.
OMG! Trilliums are my favorite flower and I never knew there were red ones. Here in Minnesota, I have only seen the white ones.
