Into the Woods





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

  8. OMG! Trilliums are my favorite flower and I never knew there were red ones. Here in Minnesota, I have only seen the white ones.
