If my memory files can be believed, every year at this time I go to the same places and photograph the same things--trilliums, trout lilies, dutchman's breeches, buckeyes bursting wildly into leaf in the woods. After 21 years you'd think I'd have enough photos of pawpaw blossoms, which aren't even all that interesting, but no: I hear the call of the pawpaw and out into the woods I go, except that this time I forgot to take my walking stick and slipped on a muddy slope and had trouble getting back up again and had to scootch down the hill on my bum. But I don't care. It was worth it. In times like these we need to grab hold of every ounce of beauty that comes our way, even when it hurts. I hope I never get tired of photographing spring.

Buckeyes always look so complex at this stage. Good pic.
Thanks! So colorful too--like a party in the woods.
