Spring in the woods: Photos

Rate: 22 Flag

ironwood

Ironwood tree blooms. It is so exciting to walk in the woods daily and discover a new bloom or leaf. Here is the latest growth in our woods in the Berkshire Mountains. I love bringing these to you because I enjoy them so much. 

blue cohosh

Blue Cohosh. This flower is hard to photo. It is smaller than a dime. 

toothwort Cardamine dyiphylla or Crinkleroot Toothwort with a visiting bee

anemone Hepatica

moss

I'm sorry I don't know what this is called. It must be a type of moss that covers rocks and never really dies in winter. It is soft and glorious to touch.

These are such a lovely reminder that summer is coming and winter is gone. Thanks for sharing these flowers that remind me of my youth in Maine.

That "moss" picture looks like a intricate work of art that should be framed and hung prominently on a wall somewhere. Great shots.

I loved the Blue Cohosh. As a matter of fact, they are all wonderful photos. Is that your part-time job?

We have green grass now but the trees haven't even started to bud yet. 3C (37F) here today. Bitter wind. I need some sunshine!! (Not getting any 'til next Sunday)

Sheba, a lovely display of Mother Nature's work up in your area! I have a few of those native plants around here but have not spotted all that you have presented here.

That mystery fern looks so downy, like feathers. These are wonderful, I'm grateful you share them with us.

These are beautiful, the moss is visually exciting. What kind of camera do you use?

(what Lezlie said)
and I was also going to ask about the camera, but I'm betting it has to do a lot with the photographer

amazing photos that become artwork
It must be so heartwarming, to find this beauty where only a while ago a thick blanket of white covered everything
the jolt of the turning of the seasons, it's been so long I don't remember it anymore

Enjoy the pictures. I miss the spring time in Ohio, which I would spend in my aunt's and uncle's woods. One thing I do miss the most, is mushroom hunting in April and May. You started to learn what nature was all about.

Hi everyone, Thanks! I was gone all yesterday working. Wish I could do without income. ;-) Scanner, the job is communications and development (raising money) for a Land Trust. So, I'm hoping I'll be able to use some of the photos on the website and newsletters. Miss you all.
