Happy vernal equinox! Spring is my favorite season, or is it fall? Hmmm, I suppose I love them both.
Being such an important day I took some time to go exploring. I do love exploring the woodlands that surround me this time of year. Its quite exciting to see a little sprout of something make its way through the leaf litter on the forest floor. Its still a bit early for wildflowers to be blooming, but I did manage to find a few.
The most abundant of the woodland wildflowers here seems to be the Toadstool Trillium. I've come across so many of them in my search, but have yet to find one opened.
The one wildflower I did find was this little type of flower. I have yet to identify it but it was so pretty I had to include it here.
There were more mystery plants on today's journey. Before the spring turns into summer I hope to have these figured out.
These I do know, they are Mayapples. Although just emerging and small here they will grow to a good size and produce flowers beneath the cover of the leaves.
The beech trees are still livening up the forest by holding on to last years leaves. Soon they will drop them in favor of new ones.
I'm thankful I had the opportunity to find some lovely loves today. Tomorrow the weather will change to rain/sleet/snow. Here's hoping the first spring was joyous for you as well.
