The morning light in our woods has been calling me but who has time for a quiet walk? The few times I've been out in the woods, I haven't had time to process my photos. Some of these are from two weeks ago while others are from this morning. Two weeks ago we had trilliums, bloodroot, rue anemone, hepatica, and trout lilies blooming; the dutchman's breeches were just getting started, and the pawpaw blossoms were still rolled up in tight little buds. This morning the bloodroot has all gone by but I saw a few tiny twinleaf blossoms (too far up the slope for good photography), plus surprising stands of squirrel corn and perfoliate bellwort. The pawpaw blossoms have opened up on the edge of the woods and the mayapples are rising from the forest floor. So much change in just two weeks! What will be waiting for me next time?
