This is actually from last Spring (well, June I think). We don't get flowers around here until May or so because it's cold until then. It's supposed to be anyway. We had some 80 degree weather last week, so the grass thinks it's Spring, but this morning we had snow and it's cold today, so I'm sure my little green growths are going to have to start over again!
I tried to find what kind of flower this little lonely guy is and came up with Painted Trillium (if any botanists know differently, please let me know!). It was pointing the way from a patch of sun off of Lincoln Woods Trail, an old railroad along a river off of the Kancamagus Highway near Lincoln, New Hampshire.

Edit: I just realized that you can't see the details of the flower with that pic above..here's a zoom in
