Along wooded trails
Spring ephemerals stand up
And the crowd goes wild.
These tiny stars of springs show are here a short time. Go out and seek them.
Ephemerals
wildflowers
Garden
Out of the leaves come
Tiny sprouts, ephemerals
Violets galore.
These sweet lovelies are abundant in the woods.
Field Sketching
Went to NC Botanical Garden trails to sketch!
Backyard Sketching
Carolina wrens
Shoot, swoop into my garage
Blue birds are housing.
There is a lot going on right in my backyard! I love to sit out on my tiny stool and just take it all in.
Meant to Be
Who were you before
The world made its fast imprint
On your soft young soul.

A Common Sneezeweed
Gets blamed for fall allergies

Snowdrops
A walk in the woods
Came upon a bank of white
White, fluffy, Snowdrops!

White glow in meadow
Lilies among tall grasses
Wild Easter Lily.

Young Leaves April 16, 2017
Gentle breeze ripples
Branches with fresh young leaves sway
Steady rolling waves.

Crushed seeds are love charm
When rubbed on the hands of men
This nodding flower.
