A short thread on perfect spring days and God's bounty of wildflowers after a cold winter.
55° and sunny this afternoon. Our Sunday afternoon walk in the woods always cheers us and prompts Thanksgiving.
Start with Spring Beauties. The range of color from white to pink - amazing
Then wild Rue Anemone (my favorite). Same from pure white to a deep deep pink. They're so delicate.
The first Trout Lilies of the season. The leaves look like an orchid and are variegated like a trout's par markings. The flowers are deep yellow and often point straight down. Luck to see these at photo angle
